Brian Andreas

This is from a painting I bought by a guy named Brian Andreas. We also have 6 of his books. They're really whimsical and inspirational. I highly recommend looking them up. Anyway, the picture is colorful and drawn the way a child would draw but a tad more coherent. There is a large creature sitting on a stool dangling a carrot over a small creature who is reeeeeaaaaaaching out to get it.
"What are the rules? I said & she said, Do exactly what I want whenever I want, make no demands of me whatsoever, & love me forever, no questions asked. & I said, how do you win? & she said, you don't understand. I'm the only one who wins. & then she laughed & clapped her hands. Isn't it a great game? she said."
I find myself reading this over and over again. I've had it for years now so I couldn't even tell you how many times I've read it. It has never once not interested me. Josh thought it fit me to a T when we found it. It may still be true but it's probably not as adorable now that we've been married for a while :)
