Rain on a hit summer´s day

“Rain on a hot summer´s day” is the title of this acrylic painting I made tonight. I had two friends over for a creative evening. I´ve said it before, I´ll say it again: it´s so nice to create with someone else!

This is maybe an odd painting. I decided to combine a naturalistic  picture with a totally abstract part. An experiment. The two parts have totally different colors. But when I was finished I made one warm wash and one cold, made by the colors I´d used. I washed the cold part with the warm paint, and opposite. You can´t really tell, but it did tie them a bit more together.

As for the title? Last week it was actually the case. 20degrees and rain all day. I was at home working, not exotically by the sea, but still. A rare phenomenon around here.
