Artist Statement
Special Delivery is a series of watercolour paintings that combine the themes of gift-giving and transportation. This year, our forest creatures are preparing for a great picnic where they will gather to share food, drink, song, and letters from afar, to make the world seem brighter for just a moment. Boy, do we need it!
Each tiny watercolour painting is mounted on wood, embellished with paper tole layering, and finished with a protective wax medium for water resistance.
