An early piece from the Umbrellas on Brain series. For a stretch of years, Cronin painted umbrellas as a way of working through the idea of protection without losing the whimsy of the object itself. The series sits at the quieter end of his vocabulary. Less text, less collision, more room for a single image to carry the painting. When It Rains It Pours I is one of the early entries. High-gloss enamel on board. Held in a private collection alongside two other Cronin works, including Cashew Tree. Signed verso.
