Thanks Sarah-Jane,
I wonder about that painting, because there is so much going on in it. I arrange still lifes as theater, pulling in items in my cabinet somewhat randomly. Often, there is a "nude" as the central character--usually a guitar, mandolin or a cello. I will explain the puppet--it's The Ellington Puppet. My oldest daughter (the former cellist), when she was in fourth grade, had a class assignment for Black History Month: Read a biography, write a report, and make a puppet. Her teacher that year was the best one she had in grade school. Anyway, there is no objective narrative to the painting, but hopefully a subjective/objective one. I am going to concentrate on still life now until it gets warmer outside.
