Painting Name: Singing in the Rain
Some of my favorite movies have always been the old classics, even the musicals with all the dancing about and breaking into song at the drop of a hat. Gene Kelly in "Singing in the Rain" is one of those.

What Brought About this Painting?
I wanted to paint a series of old movie remembrances and this is the second one, with the first one being Dorothy's Ruby Slippers from the Wizard of Oz. See the post for that painting.
Was there ever anyone as good as Gene Kelly? I think not. He acted, he sang, he danced, he choregraphed and he directed "Singing in the Rain" which also starred Donald O'Conner and Debbie Reynolds. The movie was made in 1952 and IS an American classic in the musical romantic comedy genre.
This painting is a tribute to the iconic scene and dance sequence when he sang in the rain. Nobody like Gene Kelly...
