Artist's Comments

This is a painting done in Pen and Ink, watercolor and colored pencil. I had so much fun doing every stage of this drawing. It just flowed so easily. I did all of the color work in one sitting. Well, I lie. It was two and I took a nap in the middle and stopped for lunch. But still, to have done all the color work in a singe day is a terrific feat for me, and I am really proud of this one.

I'm not sure about the title, though.

EDIT:
Now available as a cross-stitch from KustomKrafts!

Oh, good question!
I probably should edit the description to mention that it's 11x17" and was done on Illustration board (actually, the board was 15x20, and I placed the image in the middle to make matting easier. However, this made scanning MUCH harder. I love the 11x17 size because it's big enough to allow for a LOT of detail, and yet it's small enough that I don't exhaust myself trying to get it all colored in.

That is quite large to have painted so quickly! I know how much of a pain it is to scan larger paintings like that. It is such a beautiful painting! Do you sell prints anywhere?

Ha! When I scanned it, I had to stick my foot on the scanner to hold the lid down, because the watercolor had made the board warp slightly, and I hadn't had a chance to press it flat yet. Which actually worked, surprisingly enough.

I do plan to have prints available. I have prints of most of the other work in the gallery, too, I just don't have a paypal accout set up to recieve money yet, so I don't advertise them on the site yet.

If you, or anyone else, is interested in a print, please email me privately and we can discuss it.

Lol! That sounds like me when I scan things. And my scanner's not that big so I have to scan things in at least two pieces and then put them back together in photoshop. :D

Thanks for the info on the prints. :)
