FROGS AND FLOWERS INK ON PAPER SHOOSTY ®
Frogs and Flowers is a large canvas depicting a surreal jungle scene. e central element is an organic organ with opium owers coming out of its pipes. Sitting in front of the organ, cross- legged, is a friend of the artist, Rabbi Yaa- kov ompson. He is wearing a kippah and playing guitar. e rug he sits on has fringes shaped like the keys of the organ; it is cradled between a pair of bird of paradise plants. Looking at the composition clockwise from the top, a ute is found under vegetation that
curves around the left side. White owers with ve petals each are arranged uniform- ly from small to large where the holes of the ute would normally be found. Coming from the throat of the ute is a waterfall separat- ed by a fern silhouette. Frogs are positioned on both sides. A seed pod in the shape of the Rabbi’s face is upside down on the right side of the organ, completing the composition. Rabbi Yaakov ompson passed away only a few years after the painting was completed.
