This is a remake of a painting I saw a photo of in some magazine.  The original painting was done by a fellow named Kuckein, and his version is called "Baltic Afternoon".  It instantly drew me in, so I thought I would have a stab at it.  It was really fun to do- clouds must be the most forgiving subject matter there is: just pick a color and run with it.  I still prefer his version, but I like this as a finished piece too.  The title I gave it refers to the difficulty I had painting the umbrellas.  Tricky little buggers.
