This seems an appropriate painting to herald a crisp, shiny New Year.

leaping  forward.....flying off with abandonment and joy.

a painting also headed for my Exhibition..... just needs varnishing!

this painting titled itself....it was only after I'd made the decision that I realized

how attached my own kids are to the Maurice Sendak book.

it's stored in the roof-space ....too 'special' to give away....

and they're also  huge fans of the movie, with its amazing production values

and stunning imagery....filmed in Flinders and other stunning locations

around Victoria.

So a little reminder of the original.... who would guess it's over 50 years old!

i just love, love this

and a special shot from the 2009 Warner Brothers movie
'Where the Wild Things Are' 



                              ......so here's to all the wild things in  2014!
