“Who Invited You” is an original, signed 24 × 24 inch painting by Bisbee, Arizona artist Bill Mead, a whimsical picnic scene where the ordinary and the impossible mingle without hesitation. A red cloth is spread across a sunlit field, holding bread, peppers, a bottle, a glass of wine, and a tiny hat set out as if awaiting polite company.
Above it all, a large green umbrella shades the spread — and perched boldly on top sits an oversized grasshopper, claiming the picnic as its own with comic self‑assurance. The surrounding trees and soft sky ground the moment in calm, while the unexpected visitor adds Mead’s signature wink of surreal humor. His surrealism is confident and unforced; the improbable settles naturally into place, inviting the viewer to linger on the wit, the symbolism, and the gentle strangeness woven throughout. A vivid, character‑rich work from Mead’s Gravity & Wonder collection.
