Description
36 x 18 Oil.....The green ball came to me in a dream. I drew it during a couple visits to the car wash. I keep a sketch book in my car. a couple weeks later I had a vision of this painting except I couldn't come up with what was on the shelf. At that time, my daughter got a behind the seen tour at the Wild Animal Park. (It's who you know ), and she was able to encounter an armidillo. So I painted a three banded armidillo. Researching them, I could not decide to paint it fullly closed or let it peek out. While deciding, I out loud asked a photo of one. "Hmmmm, to orb or not to orb? " That created the title of the painting......
