This picture was created for D on the 27 March 2012. I didn't like this picture when I inked the black lines in before I coloured it. It was a few days later when I put the colour in and wasn't till today with a clear head and not allowing my initial thoughts to influence my reading of the picture that I have come to like the picture. It's a very ying and yang picture because despite the negativity in it, there is a lot of positive to balance the picture. I love the peacock, amazing how it appeared right at the end. I love the cat in the mountain, very mischievous. I see similarities to Edvard Munch picture "the scream" in this picture, funny this is the second picture I've drawn where I see Munch's picture. See the entry "The face".
I like the bird which looks like part of the brain. I also see a side view of a female face, with lovely red lips and she feels very regal. Is that a beach ball in the eye, does "D" want to get away from it all and sit on a beach? I see different faces hidden throughout the picture, I see different animals such as the peacock, Dog (even though my wife sees it as a Donkey) the Cat, The Bird, A puffy fish, or is it a hedgehog / porcupine, I'll leave that for "D" to decide. I'm going to miss this picture as I've fallen in love with it, but it's not for me and I hope "D" enjoys it as much as me.
