un parapluie!

girl with umbrella.

in honor of umbrella day (even though it's more like will-it-wont-it-snow-day here in atlanta).
yes, it is an original painting by r. 
a one-of-a-kind. yes, it is my first (real-ish) acrylic painting.
yes, it is from 2009, our first year of marriage, during a more creative than usual period of my life. 
probably somewhat due to having too much time on my hands. 
i wish i had that problem now! 
oh for a day of pure, hand-dirtying playing with paint! 
but, it was also due to much emotional stress, upheaval and craziness. 
so, i don't quite want to be back there exactly. 
i'm not a painter (obviously). 
but, i'll never stop wanting to be: 






P.S. don't you just love saying umbrella in french?
