"Rain", oil on board, by Rene PleinAir

March 14, 2010

         Yesterday, the first of my spring vacation, was a rainy and roaring one. All day the rain sped across the town, blown by strong spring winds. I sat inside with candles burning, watching the weather do its March tricks and reading comfortably in my pleasant apartment. In the evening I drove the rainy streets to have dinner with good friends in the brightness and friendliness of their home.
