All in the Well
Original 9" x 12" acrylic on acid-free paper painting inspired by an entry in W.C. Hazlitt's Dictionary of Faiths and Folklore. There is a short entry that names a children's game "All in the Well". This is a surreal and macabre interpretation of that entry. It's a little bit spooky and a little bit campy. A hapless young girl is the masked quarry about to be sacrificed to the tentacled monster in the well by her sadistic playmates. Creepy fun!
You can purchase it Here at My Good Babushka
