The red umbrella
12” x 19” · Acrylic on canvas · 2019 · NOT FOR SALE
A small, intimate scene painted with quick, confident strokes. Rain falls in Toledo, Spain. The focus is a bright red umbrella—my granddaughter’s—standing out against the cool, wet tones. Loose brushwork hints at wet cobblestones and blurred buildings, suggesting texture without detail. Soft, reflected light from overcast skies gives the scene a gentle, fleeting feel. A travel memory mixed with family warmth: a rainy day made vivid by a child’s red umbrella.
