Drawing challenge / Umbrella -Parasol


She had to hold on to her red umbrella.



Once a man who had lived for many, many years in a gypsy cart , 
and than moved to a stone house, said to me , 'the thing i 
miss the most is the song of the rain on the roof '.
'Umbrella' made me think of him.





Please take a look at more umbrella's and parasols over here:

                                                    Julia

    Amazing Renilde! both the paintings ( gosh! the one with the unbrellas and the girl! do you have a place where you sell your art???) and the story touched my heart. It's very sweet to know what people really miss... and somehow it's never a thing. It's a feeling, a scent, a sound...

      Thank you Demie, i had an etsy shop for a little while but closed it again because lack of time (one day maybe i reopen it, we'll see), i had several exhibitions but the last one was a couple of years ago also.
      I have been looking for your e-mail address at your blog, but couldn't find one. xx

    Dear Renilde,
    wow, its a flowing stream of impressions looking at your paintings.
    So many details to find... as pretty umbrellas fallen like raindrops... that red one with woman!... or faces of raindrops in contact with man. That story fills my heart...

    Thank you for this theme, dear Renilde! I enjoy it very much.

    Love,
    Ariane.

    and there it is, the stroke-of-the-brush impression...
    perhaps the rain sounds like the flutter of a handful of butterflies, at times, or it resounds of many faces inside raindrops?....
    who will say?
    and i love your symbolism.

    Parasols, Umbrellas. When I was a little girl I loved parasols, still love them. Gorgeous painting, light and air, dreamy, hold on tight.

    Thanks for sharing.
