About The Artwork

At night when the lake is a mirror And the moon rides the waves to the shore A single soul sets his voice singing Content to be slightly forlorn A song rises over the lilies (Waa-ooh waa-ooh) Sweeps high to clear over the reeds And over the bulrushes' swaying To pluck at a pair of heartstrings Two voices, now they are singing Then ten, as the melody soars Round the shimmering pond all are joining in song As it carries their reverie on Over the treetops and mountains Over the blackened ravines Then softly it falls by a house near a stream And over the garden wall To thee ‘Over the Garden Wall’ by Jack Jones A word from the creator: "Jack Jones' album 'Lollipops & Roses' (orchestrated by Pete King) played a big part in the construction of my artistic identity. Something about the dreamy, nostalgic sound of the orchestration, the music and of course the voice, really stuck with me. It was pretty incredible to get the actual Jack Jones himself to do a voice in the series!” Source: Over the Garden Wall Wiki Beatrice: It's you again. I'm stuck. Help me out of here, and I'll owe you a favor. Greg: Whoa! I get a wish? Beatrice: No, no. no. Not a wish. I'm not magical. I'll just do you a good turn. Greg: Can you turn me into a tiger? Beatrice: Um, no. I just said I'm not magical. Greg: It doesn't have to be a magical tiger. Wirt: So it's some kind of weird cult they wear vegetable costumes and dance around a big thing. They seem nice enough. Beatrice: Okay, you're in denial. That's fine. But I'm just saying, something feels off about this place. The Tavern Keeper: Well, hey there Peach Pot.

Wirt: Um, Beatrice, w-why are you pretending I'm this guy's nephew? Beatrice: We need money. Wirt: You're scamming him? Beatrice: I was thinking more like flat-out stealing from him. Wirt: What? No way. Beatrice: Why not? We already stole a horse. Fred: Hey, guys. Wirt: No, we didn't. Fred's a talking horse. He can do whatever he wants. Fred: I want to steal. Wirt: But, well, I-I have this crush on this girl. Beatrice: Mmm-hmm. Wirt: That's all. Beatrice: That's all? Wirt: And I think about her lot, and I play clarinet. Beatrice: Wirt! You've got to be kidding me. Wirt: And I secretly whisper poetry to myself in my room at night. Beatrice: Wirt, That stuff's not weird. Those are just--[sighs]--well, the poetry thing is weird. Greg: [open his eyes] Are we good? Wirt: [breathes deeply] I think so. Beatrice: Wirt, sometimes you have to face your problems. Turn yourself in and get kicked off this boat. from ‘Over the Garden Wall’ (2014) Starring Elijah Wood (The Good Son), Collin Dean (Krampus), and Melanie Lynskey (Castle Rock). Created by Katie Krentz (The Powerpuff Girls) and Patrick McHale (Adventure Time). Over the Garden Wall is an American animated television miniseries created by Patrick McHale for Cartoon Network. The series centers on two half-brothers who travel across a mysterious forest to find their way home, encountering a variety of strange and fantastical things on their journey. The show is based on McHale's animated short film Tome of the Unknown, which was produced as part of Cartoon Network Studios' shorts development program. Elijah Wood and Collin Dean voice the protagonists Wirt and Greg, and Melanie Lynskey voices Beatrice, a bluebird. Over the Garden Wall was broadcast throughout the week of November 3 to November 7, 2014. The show was the first miniseries on the network. McHale first envisioned the show in 2004 and pitched it to the network in 2006. After working on other Cartoon Network shows including The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack and Adventure Time, the network expressed interest in McHale pitching a pilot. That pilot became the catalyst for Over the Garden Wall. Production of the show began in March 2014 and was largely done in Burbank, California, but many of the show's storyboard artists worked from other U.S. cities, while the program's animation was outsourced to South Korean studio Digital eMation. The series' environment evokes 19th- and 20th-century Americana, while its digital backgrounds are designed to resemble grisaillepaintings. The series was well-received by television critics, who praised its atmosphere and characters. In 2015, the series won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Animated Program. A one-shot comic book adaptation penned by McHale has been produced, with four further issues commissioned. Source: Wikipedia

I’m (I am?) a self-taught artist, originally from the north suburbs of Chicago (also known as John Hughes' America). Born in 1984, I started painting in 2017 and began to take it somewhat seriously in 2019. I currently reside in rural Montana and live a secluded life with my three dogs - Pebbles (a.k.a. Jaws, Brandy, Fang), Bam Bam (a.k.a. Scrat, Dinki-Di, Trash Panda, Dug), and Mystique (a.k.a. Lady), and five cats - Burglekutt (a.k.a. Ghostmouse Makah), Vohnkar! (a.k.a. Storm Shadow, Grogu), Falkor (a.k.a. Moro, The Mummy's Kryptonite, Wendigo, BFC), Nibbler (a.k.a. Cobblepot), and Meegosh (a.k.a. Lenny). Part of the preface to the 'Complete Works of Emily Dickinson helps sum me up as a person and an artist: "The verses of Emily Dickinson belong emphatically to what Emerson long since called ‘the Poetry of the Portfolio,’ something produced absolutely without the thought of publication, and solely by way of expression of the writer's own mind. Such verse must inevitably forfeit whatever advantage lies in the discipline of public criticism and the enforced conformity to accepted ways. On the other hand, it may often gain something through the habit of freedom and unconventional utterance of daring thoughts. In the case of the present author, there was no choice in the matter; she must write thus, or not at all. A recluse by temperament and habit, literally spending years without settling her foot beyond the doorstep, and many more years during which her walks were strictly limited to her father's grounds, she habitually concealed her mind, like her person, from all but a few friends; and it was with great difficulty that she was persuaded to print during her lifetime, three or four poems. Yet she wrote verses in great abundance; and though brought curiosity indifferent to all conventional rules, had yet a rigorous literary standard of her own, and often altered a word many times to suit an ear which had its own tenacious fastidiousness." -Thomas Wentworth Higginson "Not bad... you say this is your first lesson?" "Yes, but my father was an *art collector*, so…"
