Rain came down on the Peninsula and FHAS captured it.

It was a shame that not more people were inspired by the theme Rain, after all, Fish Hoek had plenty of it a couple of weeks ago!

Marcelle starts us off with a rainy scene in Simon's Town, a vibrant oil work from this busy and active member. Very atmospheric, Marcelle.







































Maugie took us to False Bay for her thunderous (and lightning!) image which definitely shows the elements at their fiercest.





















Ann brought us wet times in the Free State, an impressive work in watercolour. Wow, those clouds are very threatening!






Marie took us to Spain where - despite the line from My Fair Lady  - rain can fall anywhere. She did this in ink, watercolour and waterbased oil pencils (for the overlay of the sheets of rain). A vibrant approach.







































John and Cynthia took the EFFECT of rain on humans.



The first of John's is a child rescuing her doll from the rain: a strong composition in watercolour.

Cynthia's man is huddled in his raincoat as he hurries through the rain. It feels chilly with the use of cold colours and the well observed umbrella.


 


John brought us another rainy figure making puddles into a play thing. The water is cleverly portrayed. Did you use masking fluid John?




Fiona doesn't like getting wet but is fascinated by rain drops - both paintings are done in coloured pencil.

The first image you have already seen and the second is a new one taken from a very much enlarged photograph.

 


The next challenge is GOING OUT! That's the theme. deadline 05 August. Go for it!
