Baby Bowling/Elephant

Baby Bowling/Elephant Baby Bowling/Elephant 10×12 acrylic on canvas 2009

My daughter Sonja was given two different sets of “baby bowling,” each of which consist of limbless stuffed animals and a soft ball. One of the sets contains farm animals, and the other, bought by my sister while in Australia, is mostly jungle animals plus some “mystery” creatures, rendered unidentifiable by their creative coloring and their…Australian-ness, I suppose. Purple wombat? Not sure. But it’s fun setting up a virtual army of crazy un-armed (ha ha) animals to be mown down by a merauding toddler. Here are a few of them, clearly coveting the four apendages of a small felt elephant.

One thought on “Baby Bowling/Elephant

  1. Love your paintings! Such a great idea…I could think of a gazillion toys I’d love to remember with one of your gorgeous paintings.
    And, as an Australian, I can safely say I have no idea what that purple thing is. Not like any wombat I’ve ever seen. Is that orange bit a horn? Perhaps a Rhino? lol.
