"But I Never Asked To Be Born!" (Sorry, Shorty, Nobody Does)

Surreal painting handmade on a base of reclaimed galvanized steel that has had all edges folded to the back leaving attractively rounded sides. Ready to hang from a handmade clip secured to the back.

A strawberry shortcake with a tower of whipped cream runs down a country path, dropping strawberry slices as they head into the Porcelain Woods. The sky is a rich orangey salmon, brightening to a paler shade near the center which creates a soft, fizzy glow around the whipped cream. Strange black butterflies observe the progress of this hysterical entity, among red trees subtly patterned with floral motifs and green grasses growing steadily darker toward the foreground. Overlarge purple flowers and tiny pale pink bells populate the ground-cover along with small clumps of blue grass.

This piece was meticulously painted over a series of days to allow for the building of layer after layer of paint which gives the colors their richness and the gradients an intrinsic glow.
