It's Raining: Have Any Rain Pictures Or Artwork?

Hi, Chuck,

I'm in drought country, too -- and rain is my favorite type of weather!

Sometimes, we get actual rain, here --



Sometimes, I have to create my own -






I love the Afremov image you've posted, above. His was the first artwork I ever saw or 'Favorited' on FAA -- hard to miss when it's on the Recently Sold page every day!

Chuck, I meant to add -

Congratulations on your rare, rainy day -- I hope you enjoy it!

I have family in LA; I'll call and urge them outside. :-)

Chuck grab your camera and go get you a rain image, if it is raining that is! :)

Wendy, nice ones! Especially the ones you created.

Andee, I keep telling myself that I must do that. Maybe tonight.

And, of course, with rain, come these:

HA! It's finally 80 degrees and sunny here in Seattle. My mind is far from the rain hahaha

However, the pictures posted here are very nice. I especially like the double rainbows, Matt!

Hello! There is a lot of rain in Maui, often during the night, but I took this picture one afternoon. Kirsten

There's rain up in the clouds (virgas)

I love taking rainy day photos. Here are some of mine:

Kylani, I've never been to Seattle but I hear a day without rain is a good one. An old friend of mine, Joe Roth, brought the Sounders soccer to Seattle. He loves the city.

Chuck,

Here's one from this past week here in Florida, still a few inches short of where we need to be....

I love the rain. Especially when I'm inside...

Thanks for the pictures and artwork: how about some more?

No rain - but I could give you snowing

My rainy French urbanscapes:

Uploaded a few days ago:

Took this one through the windshield driving to work one rainy day:

How about a fun pic for when the rain ends??? ;)

Black and white doesn't care that the sun isn't shining....

Beautiful! I'm really anxious to get some of those night scenes. Especially the lights reflecting off the streets and sidewalks.

When I moved to "Hollywood" and worked in movies, one of the first things I noticed when I worked at night was that there was always a big water truck standing by. I soon learned what it was for: just before shooting, they would water down the streets. It didn't matter if the scene called for rain or not: they wanted that reflection to add eye candy to the shot.

Next time you watch a movie, look for the night scenes and see if the streets are wet.

This one is from yesterdays rainy day, shot on a short pause between rain showers.

Very interesting Chuck!! Next time I'll watch a movie I will surely pay attention to this detail... the wet streets on purpose...:)

Emona, here is a Montmartre scene that I used as a wallpaper for awhile that reminds me of your fine painting above:



Probably a scene from a movie and, yes, the streets are wet.

Beautiful image, Chuck! It is the Place de Tertre in Monmartre, indeed a special place... I was inspired by the artists with their umbrellas in my painting, you intuited very well. And yes, the streets are slightly wet.....:)

This is after a rain and was also my first sale.

Even in this real estate ad, we can see that the street, sidewalk and driveway have been watered down to make a more pleasing picture.

After the rain, & a rainy night

I can almost smell the rain from here, Janine. Nice...

Good ones, guys. Encore! Encore!

Hi! I hope you like my rain!

I don't think I have any rain pic's. It doesn't rain very often in my area. I'm enjoying seeing y'all's, though. Good stuff, everyone!

A couple more?

There's this, with pouring rain and lightning striking nearby when taking the picture:



And a tropical storm overhead here:

Good rain images. Time for some more...

Here is my rainy day photo - something that happens rarely here in Tempe AZ!

Window Shopping In The Rain

this is one of my rain paintings

Still one of my favorites...

My only memories of Glasgow is that it was ALWAYS raining!

I love rain artworks! Great work everyone :)

Here's mine:

Some great rain images posted overnight. Thank you!

Last night I intended to drag my lazy butt outside and take some reflection shots, but... noooo. The raining stopped before sunset, the sun came out, everything dried out, and sprinkling didn't start up again until sometime in the wee hours of the night.

I wanted to recapture this shot in the rain at night:

What do you know? I have an after-the-rain shot:

Rain in the Arizona Desert, south of Rodeo, NM. And of course, before the rain, if I remember prevailing wind conditions there correctly, at the point where I stood. And in the far background, it would be after the rain.

Love those rainbows...

Another after-the-rains stopped photo:

Uh-oh, looks like it may rain tonight. Maybe I will get my rain shots after all!

After the rain you say Chuck?

Requiem

Just right after it rained:

I'm jealous. Such cool rain shots and I have none. Maybe 'cause we've only had less than 6 inches this season when the norm is almost 15.

All I have is another after-the-rain shot:

Hopefully, you didn't have any of this:

Nice to see some more PAINTINGS of rain, Jani. We haven't had that many... maybe a dozen. I imagine they would be very hard to paint.

Right before the rain hit
