I think the idea of a river and of rain come through quite well, @aalagenesis. I'm not sure how to convey kissing the rain, but I imagine that phrase is a symbol or metaphor anyway.

I think this turned out great, and I sure hope the client likes it. If not, though, as you said, more painting for you! It's great that you love what you do. It certainly helps when trying to come up with the right concept and then getting what's in your mind onto the canvas.
