Who here is cozied up at home today waiting out this hurricane?

Now that you’re prepared for Sandy’s arrival and tucked away inside, it’s a great time for some scribbley art projects! It’s also the perfect activity if by chance we lose power! Candles, water, and flashlights are absolute necessities, but let me tell you—I always try to stock up on some art supplies before a big storm. You can always draw by candlelight!

While rain (and in this case, hurricanes) can put a big damper on our schedules and lives, it can also provide some beautiful inspiration and quiet time to be creative. Here are some lovely works of art that explore the beauty of rain.

See what pictures this crazy rain and wind inspires for you!
