After a few months not painting anything due to ill health I am back to painting and this large painting of the animals stacked from the nursery rhyme - "I know an old woman who swallowed a fly". It was inspired initially by an art installation I saw some years ago in Malta when we were there celebrating a wedding with family. The piece that directly influenced this painting was 'The Whole Cow' by Joel Saliba. Valletta 2018 Unveils ‘Hekk Jgħid Il-Malti’ Public Art Installat
