If you've taken a look at our Etsy shop recently, you will have seen the first in a series of paintings that I have started. The title of this painting is "Raining".
This series of paintings will all be based around a sign in ASL (American Sign Language). The whole project is inspired by my partners love for the language and the deaf community. She is not actually deaf herself but her passion for the language is remarkable. The darker muted colors in the background represent the vibrations of rain and how those vibrations might be to a deaf person 'pitter-patter' is to the hearing. It's my interpretation of the meaning of the word "raining" as a sign.
Keep checking back with us as more paintings are finished. If you are interested in purchasing a print of this painting, go to our Etsy shop.
That is really beautiful! I have been exposed to the deaf community through my mother, who interprets for deaf and hard of hearing children. I have always thought sign language is such an amazing language, and love seeing the expressions on people's faces as they sign.
