I was given this assignment by my favorite college teacher (my favorite teacher out of any of my schools for that matter), Adrian VanSuchtelen, about 5 months ago and I've finally forced myself to finish it, thanks to a painting day with a friend and the sheer determination to just get it out of my sight.  I wish I could've done the scene justice.  The rainbow that was slowly disappearing after the terrible thunderstorm, where lightning crashed not more than 50 feet away from us, was a beautiful, calming sight.  This is one of my few watercolor paintings.
