Brightly coloured original oil painting of a big snail in a fantasy world of walking houses, shadows, and red shapes in the sky. From Brenda's notes: "Had fun with this one. Just painting away and all of a sudden – Wow, I’ve got a giant snail! Had to run with it. Popped a giant snake in the sky, some houses with chicken legs, and you’ve got a painting that makes no sense at all but really works in a crazy way. The houses with chicken legs came from a Russian fairy tale I helped children perform as a shadow show. Buba Yaga the witch lived in a house with chicken legs. Debated painting over the dark figures in the bottom right but decided they needed to be there, they add an almost uncomfortable feeling but seem necessary."
