What is it that people like about the image of an umbrella? Well, it's pretty obvious, isn't it? I guess we like the idea that we can have a one-person shelter against a sudden storm. Umbrellas seem like a good symbol of personal strength.

Oh! cette semaine dernière était terriblement ventée. Il aurait été très difficile de pouvoir ouvrir un parapluie...
J'aime beaucoup votre interprétation... cette jeune femme frêle qui n'a comme recours à la tempête que son parapluie...
Le fait d'avoir peint cette peinture dans les tonalités sombres apporte une atmosphère particulière et réaliste à votre sujet.
Une jolie peinture.
gros bisous

I love your interpretation ... this frail young woman who has used the storm as her umbrella ...
Having painted this painting in dark tones brings a special atmosphere and realistic about yourself.
A beautiful painting.
big kisses
p.s. ....thanks, Martine!
I use no umbrella, but since I wear glasses are my salvation.
Beautiful watercolor.
I´ll come back, sure.
Y la evocadora lluvia siempre nutriendo nuestras almas de hermosa creatividad...
MUY HERMOSA PINTURA.
Diría que BELLÍSIMA! Pero creo que las palabras no alcanzan para describirla.
Es cierto. Es una gran obra de arte,Celeste!.
Te felicito.
ABRAZO GRANDE DESDE CHILE.
Long cool woman in a black dres...
Love the weigh she is leaning away from the wind/rain. Love the song too (You don't own me...)
I liked this painting first time around and still do.
The reason women like umbrellas?
1. It keeps the rain off
2. She can poke 'the man' with it ... if he tells her what to do.
I'm all for equality .... but it's doubtful if men will ever get it! ;0)
Love this angle, a but looking up and in.
She is so chic...her and her umbrella. Yes I agree with you...there is something charming about umbrellas.

VERY BEAUTIFUL PAINTING.
I would say beautiful! But I believe that words fail to describe.
It's true. It is a great work of art, Celeste!.
I congratulate you.
BIG HUG FROM CHILE.
(Thanks, Maritza!)
Yes to the video and yes to umbrella paintings!
Love the movement here !
First, I love the video but best of all I love this painting!! The use of both positive and negative space, wonderful shapes and limited value- Bravo!!
Your design is fabulous, Celeste. I love the power of the angle and contrasting values of skin, rain and darks.
