Whimsical narrative painting inspired by There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly: an eccentric elderly woman in a cluttered Victorian parlor, mid–wide-eyed astonishment, as a translucent fly spirals toward her agape mouth while miniature animals (spider, bird, cat, dog, goat, cow, horse) trail behind in surreal procession, floating like paper cut-outs in layered perspective. Environment saturated with warm ochres, moss greens, and antique ceruleans; theatrical rim lighting; exaggerated anatomy; playful distortions; and ornate wallpaper forming a storybook backdrop. Style influences of Arthur Rackham, Gorey, Mary Blair, Daniel Merriam, and Marc Chagall. Modifiers: (storybook surrealism), (narrative illustration), (whimsical), (painterly), (highly detailed), (dynamic composition), (vintage patina), (soft textured brushwork), (imaginative realism), (HDR lighting), (masterpiece).
The prompt is based on the song recorded by Burl Ives in 1953
