She was a punk in the forties💕!! Compelled to think the fabric was old & the wind took it to task while animated fairy branch lured her to safety during the storm. The smell of rotting fish served as another protective barrier from dark forces, bringing cats for good company while telling others there is nothing to see here.

I love the idea of storm damage to the umbrella, Dionne, and I am picturing the fish ending up stranded on land like seaweed on the shore. There are so many possible stories in just this one painting. I'm glad it fired your imagination, and I love your writing style!
