 This surreal and imaginative painting features a hybrid creature resembling a snail with human-like legs and a face, carrying a small house and lush greenery on its shell. The shell is wound like a traditional snail's, but the addition of a wind-up key on the side adds a whimsical, toy-like element. The thatched-roof house perched atop the shell is surrounded by trees, with a playful detail of a clothesline holding a playing card. The scene is set against a dreamy blue sky, blending reality and fantasy. The signature on the bottom left corner indicates the artist and date.

Medium: Acrylic on canvas, framed with a vibrant blue-green frame that enhances the painting's surreal atmosphere.
