Artist Diane Flick paints a surrealist scene of home appliances descending the sky in parachutes. The first in her playful Anthromorphic Vintage Appliance series. "They love, they ponder, they tire, they argue, they weave intricate and colorful tapestries, and they skydive," narrates Diane. She depicts a vivid, calm, and symmetrically centered visual style drawing influence from Wes Anderson.

“Curiouser and curiouser,” quotes artist Diane Flick. In her playful and whimsical style, Diane pictures a blender with the limbs of a human and the crown of an animal. The anthropomorphic creature embodies the same comfort from its heart and breathes deeply in the warm, rhythmic, and glorious world. It perches on a pillow situated on a pine tree growing sideways from the dark cerulean sky.

"This painting celebrates the joy and the art of the frolic, the fanciful, and the free!" says artist Diane Flick. Loosely inspired by Mary Poppins with a nod to her in the title, Diane explores her playful imagination by drawing an expansive landscape with random and happy imagery conceived in pure delight. Having just given birth to her second child when beginning this piece, Diane spent that summer enjoying the new addition to her family, rolling down imaginary hills with childlike enthusiasm, wrapping herself in the sweetness of new motherhood again, and painting.

"Her new little love is the best, most difficult, most joyous, and heart-bursting thing possible for glowing mama bot," says artist Diane Flick. A robot stands gently carrying her baby, smiling wide against a warm luminous background. "Rest and snuggle well dear ones. There is much to enjoy and look forward to."

"Make true your spirit through solidarity with your sisters and brothers, and by doing super studly things," says Diane Flick of this playful scene. Her latest series of ink and watercolor drawings adds more characters to her invented universe where robots befriend animals and devour delicious treats. These diminutive drawings work well on their own, or tell a great story in groups of three or five.
