Five Fat Friars continues my exploration of mirrored landscapes

this painting is one in my migration series

When my Golden Retriever doesn’t have her “blankie” in her mouth

When I stand underneath it, it towers over me so much it does seem bent. It all went from there to a huge canvas that is almost as tall as me!! I adore landscapes but like to "bend" the truth a bit and make them slightly quirky.
