| Found in the drawer of too-good-to-throw-away, a small painting of an unknown animal. By our daughter, age at the time? Unknown, forgotten. But I love it. I asked her what the animal was - "A cockatrice isn’t a real animal, it’s a mythical beast, sort of part rooster, part dragon I think." That's good enough for me. Added the raggedy background, 3 tulips and the cap from a wine bottle. Titled 'HaHa'. Nice. |
