The rain was relentless. It was going on five days without a serious break in the weather. Two more days and Denzel was going to implode. Exasperated, he spun his wheelchair around from the window and rolled to his easel. He lightly touched the corner of the canvas—it was still a bit soft and damp. UNBELIEVABLE! Even his oil paints were refusing to dry in this lousy weather. Denzel stretched his neck and shoulders, trying to relieve the tension. The painting was a commission and promised to a particularly demanding buyer at the end of the week. Denzel shook his head in dismay, wondering how he was going to varnish the painting in time for delivery.
