After the Cloudburst


After the Cloudburst, 12 x 16
.
On Wednesday afternoon, we had a short but dramatic thunderstorm - there was even lightning. It just kind of rolled in and rolled out leaving large cloud banks lingering on the horizon. Since I had been teaching all morning my stuff was already in the car, so I got myself down to the lakeside as quick as I could to catch a few of them.
.
In a health and wellness side note: remember that great husband of mine who brought me the beautiful flowers on Valentine's Day? He is just so giving - this week he brought me the flu! Hopefully my Tamiflu prescription will keep me from getting it too bad, but I am down for the count. So not fun.

    Very nice Laurel! I think the flu has covered, TX. Even we have it down here in Alvin.

    You do clouds so very well Laurel. And what a trooper... after that storm/hail, I was heading for the hills. Get well sweet friend.

    Poor Laurel,

    The flu is something that's hard to avoid when your mate has it. Beautiful painting. You just constantly wow me. I just sit at my computer thunderstruck. Super clouds, and wonderful colour.

    Get better,

    XOXOXOXOBarbara
