This is another sketch for a painting I am going to do. The idea came to me the other night when my six year old daughter was looking through her messy room for her teddy bear’s other slipper, and all of the drawers on her dresser were open. As I sketched it out the parody grew to include more and more elements from Dali’s paintings, such as The Persistence of Memory, and The Temptation of Saint Anthony.

My daughter thoroughly enjoyed the sketch. She offered me five pennies for the finished painting, and while I was unable to grant that request, I did promise her she could have the sketch when the painting was completed. She accepted that offer on the condition that I color it in first. She’s such a Capricorn.
