A preparatory sketch.
A little detail expanded.
Inspiration. Joan Miro's Harlequin's Carnival. 1924-25.
Naive, but somehow reminds me of the same theme.

    My dear Capt. Frodo, your soul is a spark of genius. Your mastery of all things delightful and natural have taken me to another world. Thank you for your playful and precise interpretation of history, science, the colour pink, ballet and iconography. I think I get it. BEST REGARDS from the Treasure Coast (do you do pirates?).
