Rain is a 1928 by Paul B. Travis, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a dark, moody scene of a rainy landscape. The sky is thick with heavy clouds, and rain falls in streaks across the water. On the left, a lone palm tree leans sideways, while on the right, a rocky cliff rises sharply from the ground. The colors are mostly muted blues, grays, and browns, with the rain blending into the water. The painting feels quiet and stormy, with no people or movement—just nature under a heavy downpour. The artist used loose, quick brushstrokes to capture the rain’s energy. If you like this style, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art for more works like it.
Paul B. Travis (1891–1975) was an American artist, born in Wellsville.
