R66 Nuclear Family

Another experiment. I drew and painted this while listening to the audio book, Margaret Atwood's 'Handmaid's Tale', which might explain how a fanciful idea turned into a rather forbidding-looking surreality. Why are pictures like this so much fun to do? It is choosing whatever colour comes to hand, and doodling in whatever comes to mind, thinking about other things.
But it is always these pictures that bring out the philosophical in critics, who try to find all kinds of hidden meanings and personal revelations in the objects and creatures of what is supposed to be a whimsical rendition of a real little world.
