Dancing In The Rain

     In my last post I wrote about a play list of songs that keep me going. One of them was a catchy song by Hilary Weeks. I am a sucker for an upbeat song with clever lyrics and this one is my current favorite.

    The idea that our lives get rained upon with adversity is not wholly new. But, dancing in the rain when the deluge just doesn't stop is a positive act of resistance to feeling overwhelmed with trouble. I saw this painting in my mind. The polka dot umbrella was an image I had to paint. Those dancing feet are my three granddaughters. Our teacher son is about to have his third little girl and this one is for the new nursery. Someday I'll play this song for them.
