Part of a series of paintings exploring toys, play and the imaginary.

This painting uses a colour palette of peach, orange, yellow, and green, along with some text elements and numbers integrated into the design.

The bright, playful colours reminded me of My Little Pony toys, which often feature pastel hues and bold colours. Abstract forms and textures may be reminiscent of characteristics of the ponies, such as their manes, tails, and emblems. The mixture of elements could also represent accessories for the figurine, elaborate packaging or the imaginary landscapes children create during play.

Overall, this painting tries to capture a sense of many components versus the whole and the collectable aspect of toys.

Just as toys can transform into anything in a child's mind, the abstract forms allow viewers to interpret them in unique ways.
