Brightly coloured original oil painting of a fantasy scene with a "Crocky" crocodile, houses, and faces in the sky. "The idea behind ‘Crocky’ is when the familiar and comforting becomes unfamiliar and frightening. The scariest dreams are when the safe and familiar change, that change in your expectations is somehow worse than something we know or expect to be scary. Crocky was my daughter's soft toy, he was soft, adorable, had a cute little crocodile smile. She dreamed one night that he turned bad and was trying to bite her. Poor Crocky was banished to the dark depths of our wardrobe and I don’t think she ever looked at him again."
