FuglyDuckI feel like the owl in the basket is the most normal thing going on in that painting. what even is going on?
Looks like a fairground to me.
The guy on the right is a shell game con artist, and the people on the left are his marks.
His dog is dressed up as jester, probably to perform amusing tricks and distract the crowd.
The child is holding a pinwheel, and the hoop in the foreground is also a medieval child’s toy.
The owl could just be another trained animal for some other performance, or it could symbolize that he’s the smart one controlling the game.
anon6789The owl is guarding the man’s lunch. One must keep mice out of their cheese pouch somehow!

“Oi, wot’s that you got there? An owl? A fookin’ owl?”
This is the kind of open carry I can get behind
Magic trick at a superbowl party is awkward
DEPLOY EMERGENCY BARN OWL!
Pocket owl!
You have to wonder if the artist knew someone who carried an owl around in a wicker basket or just thought it would be cool if someone did.
Is that Batdog I spot?
My Blades in the Dark character uses an owl for their hunting pet. This is definitely going straight to the group chat XD
That owl in a basket would be excellent to embroider. A friend who likes owls has their birthday in January. I wonder if I could finish it in time (if I keep my ADHD in check, I should hopefully finish it in time for their next birthday. This comment was written while working on a crochet cardigan for a friend whose birthday was in May)
Edit: I don’t get much chance to show off my progress, so here is an image. It’s mostly a mesh made of double crochet. Still remaining to do is to finish the sleeves (that’s going to take a while, as I’m doing bell sleeves), attach the side bits to the main body, extend the front panels with a cord type thing so it can tie closed, and add a small border to the front edging. Lots to do, but I’m proud of what I’ve done so far.
This has also inspired me to go find a crochet community to share my progress in, so thank you for being a delightful presence around here. You always make me want to participate more so that I can be a part of making a community rather than just using a platform
Edit 2: I made a long post detailing my process and journey so far. Here it is, for anyone who is interested https://slrpnk.net/post/31304759
(Side question, does anyone know the best way to link posts when sharing in this way? I have no idea how this works for people who aren’t on my instance. If you click on this link, are you able to comment without having to faff and convert that link to be for your own instance? If not, is there a better way to link posts and comments to make it easier for people across different instances to interact? I had a wee Google, but only found old feature requests)
