The Hobbit Tree

Media: Watercolor, India Ink

Size: 20 x 26"

Original: $600

A portrait of my younger sister, Carleen, who we affectionately refer to as a "hobbit" because of her curly hair and her tendancy to run around in

bare feet. (Of course, she's also rather more comfortable in trees than true hobbits.) This was by far the largest painting I've done yet in

watercolor, and while it was an interesting challenge, I don't know that I'll be trying to repeat it anytime soon... at least not until I get a much bigger

studio space to work in.
