To me, it looks like a piggy bank.
Ann, thanks for the in-depth response. I have an aversion to the language of critique, by the way. You don't need it at all.
For example, I think the effect Ross is advising is simply called stepping back from the canvas. It is hard to do when painting, and sometime hard when looking at a painting.
Ross, thanks for the analysis.
This was, indeed, painted from my plaster skull lugged back from New Orleans 20-some years ago. The lower jaw is broken.
Thanks all!
Rick
