Surrealism Exercise: 'Bubble Offering' by Ron Cole

My desire to experiment further into the realm of surrealism, coupled with the creative mind of my partner, to produce this piece that I've titled, 'Bubble Offering'. Erin and I have been talking about a true collaboration project for over a year, and this isn't it, but her friends will certainly see her influence here. We both love the work of Mark Ryden, and it was hard to avoid his influence in this piece, but I avoided Ryden's overabundance of hidden symbolism; preferring to keep it simple and focused.
