the background of this painting was a dumb joke, I´ve read in Sonjas skype-profile.
"stellt euch mal vor, n cowboy geht zum friseur und als er wieder rauskommt, is sein pony weg"
means: a cowboy goes to a haircutter and when he comes out soon after... his pony is gone.
sadly it just works in german (in german, we have the same word for pony and fringe)

sehr genial!
It reminds me of another.
"A man walks into a bar. Ouch!"
