Morning News.

:-)!made me smile Fantastic!!!

Humorous and surreal, Svetlana Bagdasaryan’s "Morning News." is an undeniably attention-grabbing painting that will never go unnoticed on your wall. For me, the picture fits more squarely into the tradition of Magical Realism than Surrealism (an interesting distinction as Magical Realism is a literary movement, and Bagdasaryan wants to capture an entire narrative on the surface of a canvas instead of the writer’s page). Bagdasaryan’s astute observations about the difference between writers' and painters' approaches to art are ideas I often think about. In many ways, painters have the most creative control of any artist. Filmmakers usually require at the very least a skeletal crew to realize their artistic vision, writers need editors, sculptors need foundries, but painters are the sole contributor to their work. From inception to execution, painters (without studio assistants and fabricators) control their artistic output, and that’s how they come up with creative energy to create paintings as intriguing, fun, and substantive pictures as "Morning News."

So correct.
