Siesta?!

This is one of my paintings from my Childhood series with the theme “The Pink Room” titled ‘Siesta?!’

Growing up I shared the room seen in the painting with my sister. Potrayed here is a moment in time I remember so vividly; Dad always made us take an afternoon nap, I thought that was a waste of my time,  wanting to play, run, draw etc. I always waited untill everyone in the house fell asleep and sneaked out to play with all the interesting creatures in my little Universe; butterflies, lizards, beetles, lady-birds, ants etc.
