Stick Figures in Front of Oldsmobile

Skinny kids
Wrinkled clothes
Crooked windows
Non-symmetrical
Snowman slightly off center
The “Olds”
Wrinkled fenders
A round-headed driver
A teetering toboggan
Hanging from its roof

The artists
Sipping hot cocoa

Kids drawings amaze me and can be what you've described. Is the painting by someone famous? Enjoyed your imaginary Ekphrasis!

From whence this rose, I dare not guess, but I'll take a cup of that hot cocoa.
