An Army of Flowers is what we need now. Luckily, we've got one!
Quick, tell the bees. They'll want to meet and start strategerizing.

Here's an ancient warrior who, while scary enough, is really confused about who and when he is. He has knocked down, accidentally cause he's clumsy and angry all the time, a girl in a skirt and now he's thinking What to Do?
He has a yellow dog that thinks of swimming pools. Other people just throw up their hands and drop peaches in practiced despair. TONE: damage done, atonement, the low intelligence of crowds.

In a dream I'm a waiter - I've done that a lot - but I'm the only one to show up for work, and the dining hall is endless, thousands of tables. And I can only do one thing: start working. In the dream, there's no alternative at all, the possibility never even comes to mind. Only a sense of I'm going to be doing this forever.

Man on fire. Running because of something important, not because he's on fire. That's incidental here. There's a hole in the sky, and this hasn't happened before except in a dream. He will have to buy a new hat. Tone: worry, hurry, but it's all going to be OK.

Perhaps you recognize the house from other paintings. Took a monoprint class a while back. This is one of the pieces I did.

The image makes me think that we're not ready for a birthday party this weekend. There are no Chinese lanterns, rope lights, bins of beverages, and so forth, party stuff. None at all, and we have to make it happen. Soon!

An old hunter - like Dersu Uzala perhaps - recounts the adventures he's had on a long hunt. Fires on the horizon, the biggest meadow anyone had ever seen, and a strange gathering of people with yellow hair - yes! - who talked about building something called a parking lot. There was a big lake on a cold morning and three pillars that he was told to stay away from.

jungle, open spot where you can see the sea... charcoal remnants of a fire used to roast over-confident explorers.
