Flight of the Passing Fancy by Paula Peacock 36" x 48" oil on canvas This painting took five years to complete. I, evidently, was spending a lot of time contemplating my choice in men while working on this one. No, I'm not 'man-bashing'. I'm just truth-speaking. This painting is a fairy tale about 'Three Little Pigs'.  Piggy One, also known as Passing Fancy One, built his home with straw. Hence the box of drinking straws.
