Umbrellas

(Oil on canvas)

The umbrella must be one of the most perverse human inventions. How it hinders the feel of rain on the skin! Education and judgment often robs the most intimate of emotions and experiences from our lives.

That said, nothing represents the rain as much as the umbrella. Curious, how some things are loved for what they symbolize, than for themselves!

And that holds true as much for people as for things.
