Artwork Description

This started from a very small 1930s black and white photo of a little girl hiding behind a tree. She was so sweet, innocent, unaware of the fact that the tree wasn't big enough to hide her, that I had to reimagine the whole composition in a more contemporary manner. Kids haven't changed much in 90 years!

Artist Statement
After painting as a full time artist for the past 15 years, I've decided to just leave some previous works available here as prints only. No originals. It is unfortunately no longer financially viable to try and sell original work on this site when my returns after two recent increases in commission from BT, increases in shipping, material costs etc mean my actual proceeds from a sale are quite small. Thanks to my collectors and followers these past years. I wish you all the very best.
