I started with an outline of swirls and curliques and looked for a picture within. The first thing I saw was the hat and feet of the jester. Getting his awkward body shape was fun and then I added flooring and background swirls for the wall. Then I saw a throne shape forming and refined that a bit, adding a King and Queen. And, no matter how grand a castle is I think there has got to be a mouse problem.

Love the color, pattern, uniqueness, and whimsy of this painting! It makes me want to laugh too! Thank you for posting it!

So playful, I think this would be a very pretty illustration for a child's book.
