Rain in the Summer Time

Rain when the sun shines. Old Texans say that means the devil is beating his wife.

This afternoon at Corinthian boat club, I painted quickly because the sunny moments would disappear behind a rain cloud.

If the devil is in the details I left them out, to capture the rhythm of the naked masts.

The distance shore muted. Rapid brushstrokes in a swiftly changing sky evoked the feeling that this was not our typical August sky.

25 minutes

My Mother, a Texan, says that a woman marries whoever asks.

Who would marry the devil? That's another question entirely.
