Thumbelina Print

Hans Christian Andersen tales and illustrations from his works inspired me as a child, may be why I became an artist. This is my rendition of Thumbelina, with a child or fairy being, sitting on a stem. The rusted bud next to her has gold colored metal leaf, as do the edges. It's to be the first in a series to represent the four seasons. This is springtime. I hope it makes you feel light, remembering your childhood, or a child in your life. I chose the medium of oil on raw canvas, primed with clear gesso to prevent the oil paint from deteriorating the canvas over time, and to allow for gold sizing for the leaf to adhere well. The style is my own, a combination of practice and influences too many to count!
