Artistic Depiction of an Umbrella
The Umbrella is displayed in its glory
An umbrella is a useful item, and it is needed when days are hot and sunny, as it is today, here in London. An umbrella is also useful on rainy days, when we need to protect ourselves from getting wet and soaked in the rainfall. I usually use an umbrella when it rains, to protect my spectacles from getting wet in the rain. I do have a long umbrella and a folding one, that is much lighter and easier to carry around. Do you like using an umbrella for the Sun or the rain? There are days, however, when I prefer to just walk in the rain, it is a good experience for the soul.
However, an umbrella is not just an umbrella, you can make an artistic statement with one. Over the years, I have seen several artistic depictions of an umbrella or a brolly, as it is called in Britain. There have been paintings of umbrella, there are numerous colourful photographs of umbrellas and there have been art installations of the humble umbrella.
As writers, we know that one object can be used in a variety of ways. You can use an umbrella creatively, as a weapon for your character in a story, or as a device like a parachute for your hero to escape his enemies in a thriller novel.
Have you seen an artistic depiction of an umbrella, and how would you display an umbrella as an art-piece? The umbrella could be used as an ornamental display, as a floral display or as an art-installation. A creative and artistic statement can be made with an umbrella.
An umbrella as a cloaking device for spies to hide under to understand their opponents codes with a wide band of information that plays right through inner space to their land of eyes that see everything veiled in the shadows
