About
Family and Rainstorm is an intriguing family portrait of a mother and two children who have stopped to view a rainstorm in the distance. The tempestuous sky is rendered with harsh contrasts, as the day glow of the sky is interspersed with billowing, dark clouds. As with many of Colville’s compositions, the viewer is made a third party observer to the scene, with each of the figure’s gazes facing in different directions.

We Offer High Quality
Custom Framing
We use the highest quality wood in our modern shop to create custom frames, frame your print with precision-cut acid-free mat board, and mount it behind a UV-blocking semi-gloss plexiglass to protect your art from the sun, dust, pollution, heat, and humidity. Then we add finishing touches like a wall hanging mount, wall friendly bumpers and a protective backing.
