I wouldn't have thought it a factory piece, but of course I value your opinion!
Thanks for the comments @mirana. I agree that it's whimsical and children's-book-ish.
...and, since it's my thread, I'm gonna go ahead and post this poem that the painting reminds me of: The Disillusionment of Ten O'Clock The...
