"Shorty - long walk" painting

This painting by Kaj Stenvall (1993) is now on my office wall, right behind where students sit. Purdue has an art print exchange program, so I walked over to check it out (picked-over by the time I went after lunch).
You've probably heard the term 'helicopter parents' by now. This painting was not only my favorite of the pieces left, but it lets you make the story. Mine (in my head) is "so there was this freshman duck student, just got dropped off in the land of higher education by his family, friends, his past. He's lost, not sure where to go, and needs to go buy a shirt." or something like that.
