Hmm... I'm happy with the piece and I think it did turn out a whole lot like the oil liftout traditional projects I've done (though it's kind of dark), but the meaning of the painting turned out to be a little more clouded (haha, get it?) than intended. Basically, it was supposed to be a little more positive than it looks, with people being upset about the rain in the background while the foreground man roughs it out dripping with a smile. You can be positive in any situation, no matter who you are--something like that. I was kind of going for irony, because it's the rich looking people who look unhappy and the ruffian who's fine with it.
