Snails are sociable creatures and are able to form long-term memories. They are also unable to move backward on their foot, only forwards. The thin layer of mucus secreted by a gland at the front of the foot allows them to reduce friction and provide better attachment. This makes them a great emotional support and role model for troubled youth.
Painting measures 450 x 550 mm and is a second-hand print that I have adorned with my own style and humour. Paintings and frames are in second-hand condition so may have marks or dents but are generally in good condition and ready to hang.
Since 2012 I have been adding my spin on those old op-shop prints that no one wants. I see it as re-interpreting a scene that someone else has setup, telling the punch-line to a joke, giving a tired print a new lease of life. Many of the paintings can also be purchased as prints.
