Rain rain go away

A detail of today's drawing, above, and the entire image below (about halfway finished). Listened to one of my Dad's favorites, Harry Chapin, all day in the studio.

Happy Father's Day!

Well, it is raining again and today the storm feels very ominous, not a clear spot all day long. The church attached to my apartment was struck by lightning in 1966, let's be glad lightning doesn't strike the same place twice! I woke up with the crack of dawn this morning and got a good solid day in the studio. Apparently the word for rain and cry are very similar (piovere and piangere). now I know why Duccio was confused the other day when what I said roughly translated to 'I'm always crying.' I meant always raining. Oops!
