Skunk! Original Painting

I started this last night about 2 a.m when I decided sleep wasn't going to happen anytime soon. Just finished it about an hour ago. Skunk! Is just for kicks and giggles. Well...it made me giggle anyway. I love it when I draw something and it tickles my funny bone.  I think this is probably an indication of "being on the right path" so-to-speak.

I don't know what it is about giving houses a human-like quality...but it makes me smile.  After all...don't homes absorb, reflect and react to the "energies" that are in them and around them?

This house wasn't "born bad" like Hill House or the "Scary House". It's a happy house. It lives in the country surrounded by colorful shrubs. It harbors a happy family who loves and cares for it.  But every happy scenario has it's share of thorns and prickles.  This house shudders in the presence of SKUNK.  It may have suffered some child hood trauma with some strong SENSE MEMORY attached to it.  Can you really blame the skunk for coming around though?
