As a UFO arrives with the stars in this fantasy painting.    The sky turns dark in the rain.    The little girl clings tightly to her dad. They may be frightened. The umbrella the dad is holding even looks terrified, and not really protection enough. The sky has turned dark. The fish jumps out of the pond. The Spaceship arrives with the stars. The ground is green and lush. There might be nothing to worry about. Uncertainty is itself a discomfort. We see the young girl wearing red, we think of “red riding hood” and her plight. We wonder if this fairytale gifts them a happy ending? The UFO is unusual for this scene. It looks to be friendly as it dances with the stars in the dark sky, where does it come from? Are the occupants' friends? Why have they come?
