"Walking in the spring rain , 2014" by Aurelija Kairyte-Smolianskiene
“Everybody knows the feeling...The one you get strolling in the warm Spring rain. I live in the Lithuanian countryside, in an animal farm. Springs here are extremely muddy; the melting snow makes the ground go soggy, swell with dampness it cannot contain. The grass is still autumn brown, covered by last year’s leaves. Nevertheless, the Spring slowly seeps in, encouraged by the bright sky, stirring your expectations. The rain is warm, and you can spot the new grass buds cautiously, almost reluctantly emerging from the soaked soil. In this ink painting I wanted to describe the early Spring atmosphere, conveyed by the loose strokes of my brush.”
