heavy

This is an oil painting I did when it started raining over here. It reminded me of so many memories I had growing up in my homeland the Philippines. Those days when dark heavy clouds gave me some kind of scary feeling, because it would mean either days of non- stop raining or worst- a big storm. But I like it when it poured heavily, as heavy as it was when it was forming up in the skies, because I know that there would be light and rainbow afterwards, and sometimes the sun would be shining while it was raining. That was great….even the flowers would look so strikingly beautiful just like this tulip on a spring rainy day like today.
What’s so cool about rainy days is that, I can sit down beside my window while listening to Rhythm of the Rain by the cascades or Umbrella by Rihanna, or I would read a danish novel and having a cup of steaming hot chocolate or jasmine tea on the side and a not so sweet, crispy chocolate chips. Ohhh Life is beautiful.

Be still, sad heart, and cease repining;Behind the clouds the sun is shining;Thy fate is the common fate of all,Into each life some rain must fall,Some days must be dark and dreary.- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, An April Day
