Little Miss Muffet
by Scott Gustafson
| There are so many light and
interesting touches in this beautifully colored and bordered work. She
sits in a formal garden of the 18th century, next to her faithful King
Charles Spaniel. A suave little spider has come to "sit down beside
her" — but perhaps this Miss Muffet will not be frightened away.
Scott says: "The sheet music at her feet is a Tarantella, a popular
dance of the period that, according to folklore, when danced wards off
the effects of the venomous bite of a tarantula. Whether or not that's
true I don't know, but it was a nice musical tie-in to the spidery theme
I was painting."
