The Smell of Connection

Digital paintings · 5:4

A big eyed doll with long pale blonde hair, a small gold tiara and a blush pink dress holding up a round pink perfume bottle outside a shop window with a tiny doll under an umbrella on display, an old sepia city street behind her. Signed Magpie 2022.

A pale blonde doll with huge blue green eyes and a tiny gold tiara stands outside a shop window, holding up a round pink perfume bottle like evidence. Blush pink dress, one long earring, a little doll under an umbrella in the window display behind her, an old city street fading to sepia at her back. She bought the perfume. The pink one, with the little crown on the cap, because maybe if she just smells right, they'll stay. Maybe if she wears the right thing, holds the right bottle, stands in the right light outside the right shop, someone will finally want her without conditions.
