Snow Cones!

Here's my latest painting on various maps, book pages and music.  I'd love to say that I carefully plan what goes into these paintings and that the hidden meanings that emerge from the words that show through are carefully thought out but...no.  It's totally serendipity!   In the little girls head is the popcorn song. The other character...well he could be male or female, but I think of him as a "he" and my husband calls him "the hedgehog"...he has words like "sawtooth waves" and "high amplitude".  Maybe I took too much English at university, but this seems to perfectly suggest their personalities.  The Kuril Trench lies between them.  Will they ever get together?  Is he holding a straw, or a little ballerina?  These are far too much fun to paint!
