Day two hundred and thirty-nine: As the first rains of hurricane Irene began to pass over Philadelphia, I made a quick run to the grocery store for a few last-minute items before the city shut down to wait out the storm. On my way, I enjoyed the remarkable glow created by the street lights as they beamed through streams of water. This study is an experiment to see whether I could capture the subtle effects of refracted layers of light cascading past shadow and brick. After some trial and error, I surrendered to the moment, and found it best to simply make brush strokes as profuse and furious as the light and the rain.
