Stumbled Upon This Umbrella....

Came across this pic of an umbrella sold by a Korean company. What would poor van Gogh have thought if he saw this instance of commercialization of his painting, "Almond Blossom, San Remy" ?

Still, I'd sooner buy this than an imitation of a Burberry brolly. Puts me in a chirpier frame of mind. In the mood for springtime blossoms.

Thanks Emma for dropping by and posting your comment. I wonder why the Korean umbrella makers don't do the same with the traditional Korean ink paintings of spring blossoms. I'd buy those as well!
