After a busy day of painting on a cool sunny day, I made a quick palette cleanser. The turquoise was left over from a painting I did of Finland where there was an aurora borealis. Many of the elements here are inspired by the old Japanese print maker Hiroshige. He liked to flatten out the scenes and have the foreground elements stretch out from the bottom of the picture to the top of the picture. A little wooden foot bridge offers an avenue to explore. If you look to the left of the bridge and use your imagination, you will see a giant claw foot belonging to a feathered-leg. Even giant chicken monsters need to go out for a stroll every now and then.
