Rainbow After Rain captures the quiet, hopeful pause that follows a passing storm. A soft band of colour arcs across an open sky, pouring down into a sunlit pasture where small flocks of sheep graze calmly. On the left, a stand of trees anchors the scene; on the right, the horizon curves gently away, leaving generous breathing space in the sky and grass.
Painted in the gentle, painterly style of the Recalibrate & Exhale collection, this piece is about exhale moments and subtle uplift rather than drama. The rainbow is clear and luminous but softly edged, blending into a sky of layered blues, creams and sandy greys. The pasture is built from loose, transparent washes of green and gold, with just enough detail in the sheep to feel alive without pulling the eye into over-stimulation.
The composition deliberately leaves a large, open expanse of sky and field so the gaze can move slowly, helping the nervous system settle. The diagonal sweep of the rainbow guides attention from top right down to the distant treeline and then gently back across the grazing sheep, creating a calm visual loop.
Colours are kept warm and reassuring: clear sky blues, muted greens, soft straw and honey tones, with gentle shadows in the trees and along the ground. Both the watercolour and oil-style versions keep edges soft and brushwork visible, so the scene feels atmospheric rather than photographic. A small, elegant signature “A Annabel” sits in the lower left corner, harmonising quietly with the pasture.
