The Red Umbrella

I can't say it was inspired by the painting, "The Red Balloon" (not the movie, the painting), because I've never seen it. It was more inspired by the piece by Anne McGinny, "The Red Balloon" (which was itself inspired by the painting), a slow, flowing piece I played in the All-City Band earlier this year.

This picture was an experiment using the charcoal I got for my birthday. The umbrella is watercolor.
