Chasing Rainbows

Good morning friends, just starting today's blog with a little story.
 Ella may drop in to say hello later. 

On Friday I was on my way to an exhibition about 30 miles away. The weather was changeable and bright but squally winds were cutting across the A41 bringing with them a sharp shower. Big blue sky patches with a thin rain-cloud and suddenly a spectacular rainbow. 

The view was amazing so I had to stop and take a picture.

I carried on driving and as I did the rainbow became more and more intense. So I looked for another place to stop, had to go back on myself and found another place to get the shots I hoped would show the best colors.

 you can just see the secondary bow appearing through the tree, below.
 I got some good images then had to drive down the road a little to turn the car, finding myself at a favorite garden centre. So I pulled in and sat listening to the remainder of a play on radio 4, thinking that I would finish my journey after a couple of minutes. I got out of the car to remove my coat and noticed that a  new gallery had opened up on the site.

Now I don't believe in co-incidence ( no more than you, dear reader) so made my way over and introduced myself. Had a look around and on the wall was a huge abstract painting of.........
A RAINBOW! :)
I smiled and told the owner  how I came to be there, he joined in the play, looked at my website and invited me to bring some work in the next day.

 So now there are seven more pieces out there in the public eye all from chasing a rainbow.


A long time ago a friend said to me that I was always chasing rainbows, I didn't understand then. 


But this rainbow chased me, it was behind me all the way until I turned to face it.
