Looking for Nothing in Particular

Have you ever noticed that browsing around ETSY without any real objective is kind of like a quick trip to the grocery store?
You have every intention of popping in and out only to find yourself in some strange aisle looking at clearance priced plastic storage containers with an overflowing hand basket, thinking to yourself that that gallon of milk really deserves to ride in a buggy and not be hanging at your side dislocating your shoulder. No? OK then, where was I?

Ah yes, the strange and overwhelming vastness of ETSY. Just for fun I tried a few ETSY searches using a random adjective and two random nouns. If your brain is not good at producing its own randomness - grab some words here. On one try I got green, turtle, and spot and plugged these words into the ETSY search engine. Here are a few of the tasty morsels I found (click on image to view link):


For my next try I got a little braver - rhinocerous, steampunk, art:


OK, that has to be one of the strangest paintings I've ever seen of a rhinoceros but I kind of like it I think...

So, what three words would YOU use to describe this picture?


"Practice makes Perfect"
5x7 watercolor
