Postcard, Forest of No Return

Here's a different sort of postcard. This is a new painting called Postcard, Forest of No Return that I made for my friend C. To give you an idea of scale, the whole painting is around 30 inches wide. It is made up of two panels that hang butted together. This painting is oil and alkyd enamel on canvas.

I've made several other paintings in the past year or so also bearing the title Forest of No Return. Those paintings are all the same size and all quite small. The title was borrowed from the title of a song. I first heard the song on a CD called Second Star to the Right by Sun Ra and his Arkestra - a CD that is a tribute to Walt Disney. I understand that the song comes from the 1961 Disney flick, Babes in Toyland. There is also a 1934 Laurel and Hardy Babes in Toyland, but I don't know if Forest of no Return is on that film or not. Maybe the movie freaks in the crowd can help me out on this.
