Young J.L., Blue

 Young J.L. Blue.  I tried and tried to paint a decent likeness of young J.L., but failed so I painted her blue!  8x10 oil on linen.  

Blue Squares

It's raining today.  The 7 pale numbers in this new 8x10 oil on canvas painting, inspired by Bauhaus, spell out how I feel about the rain. The pale numbers are scrambled.  Organize them to find the missing word.
Hint:  A=1, B=2, C=3, D=4, E=5, L=12, O=15, V=22, Z=26
