“Cranberry Tea” 12″ x 12″ Acrylic Paint and Ink on Wood Panel – Black Frame

Cranberry Tea. This is just school doodles that evolved. A mantis butterfly in the lower right, a man with a shrub on his head that looks like a hat, because it is his hat who has very tired eyes from planting shrubs who is in the center. Do you know how hard it is to plant shrubs and have them grow into perfect sizes for hats and how hard it is to have 20 available for sale per day. This is a metaphor for perfection and how hard to make things perfect for people and yet just get taken advantage of. There is a hollow-headed voodoo man on the left, who puts curses on stupid people. He’s not the best at what he does putting curses on people. He’s like a dead shrub because he can plant his head in the ground and when people walk by he pops out and curses them. The name Cranberry Tea was appropriate for the month of November, and the name was made and the story is over.
Gold frame. Red background, various shades of gold and green, with a bit of white, pink, and purple.
