IF:Giant

I just returned from my vacation in time to submit a little something to this week's illustration friday theme: giant.  This is an old, old painting, but I like thinking about it in relation to this particular word.  For one thing, it's relatively huge for a watercolor and gouache painting--about 46" x 29."  And then there's the content....but I'll let you interpret that for yourself;)  


In contrast to the weekly IF theme and the monster scale of some of my older paintings, I'm into making tiny things these days.  This piece is the first in a series slated for the Teeny Tiny Art Show coming up at Three Graces Gallery.

 Oh, and this is where I've been for the past week.  It's a tough life, I know.

  2. Lovely work... and, my heart expanded with that photo... I need a good adventure at a mountain lake somewhere I think! Were you in Colorado? It looks like a place I've seen there.....
