Story / Additional InfoThe artist continues her red headed woman series in a semi-fantasy vein. There is a celestial feeling with the moon, the stars and a basket that appears to be filled with stars. A pathway leads upward to the heavens, referencing the song, "Stairway to Heaven". The artist's son was learning to play guitar when this was painted and this song was ever present as he practiced.
