Hi, This is oil on a 8 x 10 stretched canvas. I wanted this to feel like a cloudy rainy day. I used grayed down colors for everything but my little gal. I wanted the red umbrella to pop and I used a palette knife to lay it in. When my little gal went out to walk in the rain God loved her red umbrella so much that the sky radiated and reflected that glorious red. Just what I thought about after I finished it, crazy?

Merry Christmas to all of my wonderful blog friends

Nice Barbara, I love rainy day pictures.
Barb, I think you've hit the nail on the head!! Love it!
Thank you Carol, they do have a moody feel to them don't they?
I'm glad you think so Nina, thank you! <3
Did you start with a toned panel? I like the touches of warmth throughout the entire painting. Grey days lend themselves to saturated color. Your red pops!
Hi Debra, I did tone this one with burnt sieana but it went through a lot of changes. At one point I had the sky raining red, lol. I like the feel of it now.
Votre peinture va me faire aimer la pluie...
Gros bisous et joyeuses fêtes.
That is so sweet Martine. Merry Christmas to you.
I agree, this is sweet, but I like the counterpoint of the gray rainy day. Well done!
Thank you Mary, glad you like it. Merry Christmas to you.
Wonderful colors! Happy holiday.
The umbrella makes a strong focal point, Barbara!
Your thought wasn't crazy at all. This looks like the perfect setting for God to touch one of his creations. :)
Wonderful bright colors. What a great way to cheer up a dreary day! Love it!
Thanks Helen and Merry Christmas to you!
