20 x 24 in. | Original painting
After the Rain is the sister painting to Praying for Rain and continues the same story. In Praying for Rain, a woman crosses a cracked, thirsty desert, worn out and holding on to the promise of the storm clouds gathering above her. After the Rain shows what comes next.
The rain has come and gone. Under a full moon, water fills the red canyons and shines in the silver light. The woman’s long, wind-swept hair and soft gray dress fold around her as she finally lets go and sleeps. This isn’t the rest that comes from exhaustion. It’s the deep, safe rest that comes once the struggle is over.
Together the two paintings tell one story: the thirst, then the relief. The painting reminds us that hard seasons end, and that once they do, we’re allowed to rest.
