Rainy Morning- Praça XV
Sunday, February 3, 2008
Painting en plein air during summer in Rio de Janeiro is always a surprise. Gnerally we have sunny mornings and heavy showers in the afternoon. But we never know...
This special morning when I started this painting it was cloudy, then a bright sun appeared and later a heavy shower came down. I decided to be consistent with my beginning and kept it cloudy. I like rainy days, cools and warms kind of mix and light is difuse. Fortunatelly I had a shelter under a bridge and could finish it in the site.

Beautiful! I love it when the weather changes unexpectedly. Sometimes it can be fun - and sometimes not. You did very well!
Thanks Michael!

I hear they want to change Carnival to a set date. Is this an economic move? Haven`t heard the whole story.
Thanks John!
Yes, there´s a discussion about this around here. Carnival is an industry and it generates income to all involved.

When Carnival happens as this year at the beginning of February it is too close to Christmas festivities, Brazilian and foreign tourists don´t have time and money enough to plan their trips ahead time . Changing Carnival to the end of February is the proposal of the touristic agents, hotel and bars associations, they claim this way we would have longer season…
