THE PARASOL


Good afternoon.  I am quite proud of this painting as it combines three things that were on my mind to paint:  a cityscape, umbrellas, and something Asian.  So here we have an Asian woman in the city, caught in a rain storm with just a paper parasol while others rushing around have conventional umbrellas.  I feel sorry for her.  Her dress is already dripping.  She stands in a puddle of water.  And eventually her parasol will wilt and collapse on her head.  She doesn't look happy, does she?  But she does look like she is quite stoic and will wait to see what happens.  Life seems to be like that to me sometimes; others are hustling and bustling and seem purposeful, useful and well-equipped, while I feel stuck and, (ha ha) bogged down.  Thanks for passing by.
