It is a garden that is being drenched
by a spring rain. The few flower that manage to stay up-right bend under
the weight of the rushing water.

I painted this in layers to help give it more
depth. I wanted the viewer to get a feel for the water as well as the flowers.
I put the paint on with the Impasto method to help convey more drama.
And used sharp brush strokes to convey the force of the rushing water.
