Rains....

- August 25, 2012

Finally! It rained in Karachi the moment we all have been waiting for, and what a beautiful view it was in the early hours of morning. Everything glistened; flowers blossomed to the fullest and it was a sheer delight to witness this magnificence. For me rains always have a very special place and even more special affect. I could love rain for the rest of my life- shinning roads with the reflection of orange street lights.

I wish I could capture this moment with the subtle beauty of it all. I tried taking pictures but they didn’t do justice to the brilliance of the moment. Paint, yes if I could put it in colors to explain my joy then that would mean a world to me.

Recently I have myself in love with painting, the colors and light; so in the search I found some wonderful paintings. Although I do not possess in depth knowledge about art; to me anything that touches your heart is art.

Keeping in view my feelings I am posting some exquisite depiction of rains. The Artist is Leonid Afremov and the colors, shades of lights and rain he used are simply marvelous.
