That indeed is a nice and unique find.

I like how the depth her bare legs are mired and stuck in the mud at, and I like how artist shows the surface of the surrounding swamp to be deceptively firm with the flowers and lily pads as nice touches. It comes across as her walking along in the swmap when her feet punch through the firm surface and into the thick, sticky subsurface mud. And, as she struggles to free her legs, the area of mud begins to expand to further reveal the treacherous trap that she's sinking into. I also find it interesting that she believe pulling up on her hair will pull her up out of the mud.

Thanks for sharing!

I liked the abstract nature of the art. Also the way the artist matched her skirt patterns to her hair ;)

Looks almost like some of Nessie's work, but not quite.

Indeed, it does have some similiar characteristics to her works.

That was my first thought when I saw it. Then I scrolled down and naturally everybody else had the same idea.
It's a dirty job but I got to do it for 27 years. Thank you.
