Painted during Virginia True’s first visit to the Southwest in 1928, Rain Finds the Mountains vividly conveys the atmosphere and movement of isolated rain showers sweeping across an otherwise barren landscape. The watercolor was exhibited in the spring of 1931 at the New Mexico Museum of Art and was written about in the Santa Fe New Mexican.
