Rainy midsummer

July’s challenge at ARTastic is to get inspired by Shirley Charlton’s (aka Shirlroma) painting "Umbrellas, wet street". The criteria is to use water (liquid) in some way on your page (ink spray, gelatos, paper crumple, watered down paint, make handmade flowers etc). I used watercolour on my background and patterned papers with watercolour pattern.

I also have a “water theme” on the layout (not requested). The photos are taken on our national holiday midsummer. We celebrate the day outdoors dancing traditional dances around a maypole. This year it was raining cats and dogs… DD even had to wear her midsummer wreath over her raincoat.

Here is a close-up:
