Why I like it

Why I like it

• This painting is amazing in so many ways. The melting clocks mean something to me but I don’t know what. The whole setting reminds me of the desert in the roadrunner and coyote TV show. It It looks like all time has stopped in the picture, but overall the whole way the scene looks just makes it looks so picturesque and makes you wonder where it is taking place and why the clocks are melting
