Yet another painting created at the height of my vintage toy fascination.  
The toy that inspired this piece actually sits atop a high shelf in my living room today. 
Many other toys and games collected during this period have been sold, broken down and worked 
into assemblage pieces or given away to friends, but this particular item has a special place in my heart.
