Description:

Tall Poppy Syndrome: Painting #60! This may be one of my biggest Pet Peeves: people cutting you down for individual excellence in order to maintain the societal or cultural status quo. Here in the US, we are constantly admonsihed to 'excel!,' 'be yourself,' 'live your dream' - yet many times when we try to, we are cut down, scolded, shamed, laughed at, punished or embarrassed for sticking out! 'Who do you think you ARE?' How about where you live?
