Austrian rainbow

 

It was the spring of 2014 and we were driving across Europe, on our way to Romania.

We stopped for a day at this beautiful location in Austria; the place is called Hochhubergut and it is a typical upper Austrian farm, situated about 3 miles from the centre of Aschach an der Steyr, in Steyr land district of Upper Austria.

We had a little walk around the place, but stormy skies brought us back in. Then a passing rain which only lasted half an hour.

After the rain stopped, a stunning view revealed not one, but two rainbows stretching across the sky, from left to right, like two perfect semicircles.

 

We took a few pictures, both me and Paula; for use as a reference for future paintings.

It was the spring of 2014, couple of months after I started painting under tuition of Anna Sims in Christchurch.

It took me a long time, the pictures were somewhere safe in a folder, now I found them and this is my very  first attempt to paint a rainbow.
