When I was a little kid, I had a pet duck that my grandmother would regularly threaten to roast. Which in hindsight was kind of a fucked up thing to do.
Thankfully, she never carried out her threat.
Hey, look at that! I almost stayed within the theme :)
This is an older painting, and I guess it is a little sad.
The original title was Pandora's Box; it is about childhood gone up in smoke along with the long-gone people, pets and toys that were loved back then. It is about the events you can't rewind and the innocence you can't ever get back.
Hmm, I guess the Seattle rain is making me gloomy today :-)
