"The Swamp Monster"
I paint monsters into thrift store landscapes. This is the second one I did, another from the era in which I didn't have the foresight to photograph the original landscape, or in this case, swampscape. I was also giving them generic titles based on their surroundings, but that didn't last long.

Someday this exact thing is going to happen, and it will simultaneously be the saddest and happiest day of my life.
