The prompt this week was rain...appropriate if you live on the East Coast but not here in Oregon where we have been breaking records by having temperatures above 100 degrees in June! The previous record was set in 1907 and it was 99 degrees. This is the first time in recorded Oregon temperatures that it has passed 100 degrees.
But back to you Easterners...with all the rain and flooding, this is how I imagine you feel about it.
In other news, the Oregon State Beavers WON the College World Series! This is my alma mater, so I am incredibly jazzed.
This is great! Love how expressive the girl is -I feel like that often. :0)

Just read an article on global warming. I imagine that is related to June temperatures. But this week is pleasantly clue, so maybe we just switched out for July? Wishful thinking?

The sun finally came out! We are enjoying the third day of sun and it is so welcome. I loved your RAINY illustration. The colors, the composition and the anguish are perfect for the topic.

YAY, Beavers! That's great! Did you do this annoyed dark-haired girl in my honor? I'm sure I've looked this distressed this week back here in the floods of PA.

This is the freakiest summer yet. Hope you get some coolness soon. I like her expression, it says so much.

Such an effective evocation of emotion!

Nice! I really like the dotted lines of the rain, the stripes in her hair and her dress - and that you have used so much blue.

I can remember feeling that way about the rain not all that long ago. Thankfully the heat has abated or I'd be making that face at the sun! (Never satisfied!) :o)
Congrats on those Beavers!

I think you've captured the emotion very well! Enough! I sure wish i could send you some of this rain...the only bonus is that it isn't sweltering hot and humind - just rainy, 80's, and humid. I love the color scheme you used here...the blue is so pretty.

Her expression and gesture says so much!
Glad your team won, but sorry you're having our S. Calif. weather :)
