Loose Ends

Looks can be deceiving. What appears to be a framed photo of a dog on a beach, leaning against a wall is worth another look. Because in front of it are a Vans shoe and a ball of yarn, which are reflected, mirror-like in the image. But wait ... the ball of yarn which is on the floor, unwinds, right into the picture Is it a mirror? Is it a picture? And what is the dog looking at as it stares out at the ocean? Look a little closer and you'll see two figures, swimming in the waves. Truly there are some loose ends going on in this painting that with a proper story, might be all tied together.
