How about a "LOVE!" instead?
The way you drew this just feels so appropriate with the theme of the picture- as though it's really raining and blowing around! It jumps out at me and catches my attention. (I certainly would have MUCH preferred to sit and study this lovely picture while I had to wait in the dentist's office the other day than the weird painting they had hanging up, that's for sure!) Two enthusiastic thumbs up from me.

Hey it’s me. You added one of my comic strips from 2008 to your favorites and I had stated that I would peruse your gallery, and this extraordinary artwork was the first to catch my eye.
What I really love about this piece is the sheer depth of the details. To be honest you have taken a really basic technique, hatching, a completely transformed it into something I have never seen before, namely the swirls. They look like fingerprints (staying true to the title) as if this artwork has its own unique way of expressing its identity because let me tell you it does. The whole scene just elicits melancholic nostalgia from me… reminding of the times when I was caught in the rain in similar settings . The sky was just as white and the surroundings were also absent of color and expressed the different range of values as if my mind was capturing that specific point of time and marking every single emotions for me to reflect upon when reminiscing at a later point.
I absolutely love the tree because and every single branch extending forth like a network of sorts stripped of all its leaves. It reminds me of a Winter setting when the trees are bare and struggling to cling to its life during that trying season, but because of the subtitle Rain, it also reminds me of a Spring barren of its youthful animation because the clouds appearing is its stark reminder of the time it was frozen within Winter’s Tomb.
The man with the umbrella appears to be the only form of active life in this piece because the tree is obviously dead or is dying and I notice a contrast between the two. The man has his umbrella to shield himself from the rain and he’s alive and well but the tree is dead and stripped of all its leaves and thus has no way of shielding its self from the rain. I’m also reminded that once you die your corpse is tagged with a identification, (the toe tag) and on it is a the print. (I can’t recall if whether if it’s the finger print or the toe print) either way the rain is shaped in the swirls of a finger. It’s not marking the man, but the tree (and the man is looking at the tree.) I suppose the contrast is life and death: The man is refusing to accept the fact that one day he will be as dead as the tree; unlike the man the tree has accepted its death and is being marked so there is no need to shield itself from something that has already happened. Or perhaps the man is being encouraged by the tree to continue with his own life, continue walking his path because he’s not being marked like the tree.
So by the man shielding himself from the rain can denote the universal fear of dying or even hope to carry on until death and the tree stripped of its leaves can denote the acceptance of death.
This is a really outstanding and thought provoking piece and my only complaint is that it’s not framed in somewhere in my room. I did however add this piece to my favorites so that one day I will be able to purchase it as a print.
Keep up the extraordinary artwork. You’re definitely going places.
