So it is 'sort of' a floral and still life artwork, and 'sort of' a landscape painting,...with a hint of cartoon. I tried to be discreet with tiny Big Bird on the window ledge, you know, because he is so powerful. He looks especially cute in his blue beret with paintbrush and palette. The glass vase holding the blue flowers (and also yellow buttercups) is a Coca-Cola glass which to me meant the 'real thing'. I really wanted this trip to come true (which it did!) and I think maybe the coke helped cause its the real thing. This is silly but its how my mind worked then. This was painted while we lived in Oregon. It's cloudy there often, so it's cozy to stay indoors and paint and dream. When the sun comes out, everybody runs outside.
