This is great, and it reminds me of Escher’s ‘Reptiles’. Best wishes, Pete.

Now that’s creative. My initial thought was of the children’s book “Millions of Cats.” One of my mom’s favorites and by a Minnesota author and illustrator, Wanda Gag.

This is an amazing idea. I love painting when one thing turns into something else. Vladimir Kush is an artist who paints metaphors. I loved seeing his paintings in one of his galleries in Laguna Beach. Here is the link in case you are interested: https://kushfineart.com/
