Wonderful image.
Well I'm finally commenting here, and figuring out where to 'start' wasn't easy as anyplace I start is an equally vivid experience. I'm sorry to hear that you and your family had had a difficult year (from your description), and hope it's gotten much better since. I'm really drawn in by your sensibilities: Even in a piece like this---which is more fancy-free than some of the others---you have a sense of formal celebration in many of the creatures and objects. A central "metal vase"---that gold-red receptacle in the center of the piece, in front of the long-necked pink creature---looks like a ceremonious incense burner, with ceremonial carvings all around it, almost buddhist...And there's a big sundae-like bowl, with many layers, to the right of that---the one with the green "glass" and all those pinks: That too feels very celebratory, with forms which look mandala-like to me. It looks like a big sumptuous dessert. Your creatures are fascinating and so playful. One---in the back, ie the big pink one---could be a rock formation; but it also feels like a living thing with wonderful decoration on it. And it has another creature suspended from its tail (or nose), like a gigantic insect who hung on him for the view. (That suspended creature is wonderful.) The creature, front-left, has tentacles stretching into the water. This is a very bright and childlike piece, fitting for a children's book. And with all that formal celebratory/ceremonial design, it feels very old too. I really like this.
