This is what it would look like if two giant robot aliens painted with a McDonald's colour scheme had a snow fight while a turtle-snail looked on. It is a long story indeed, especially how this painting came to be. I did a painting called "The Conversation" a while back and wanted to show it in the new poster frame but it was too big, so I trimmed off some of the superfluous edging of that painting to get it down to 24 x 36" which left some 5 inch bits. The sky in this painting here is the old sky from the other painting, while the snow was the blank paper around the old painting. The other thing here was that I was trying to use up the remainder of the paint on my palette before cleaning it off, but the only colours remaining were yellow and red. That is called the creative process.
