Description

Medium: Watercolours and Light Gold Paint on Archival Quality Paper.

This took me quite some time. And it's the first full watercolour that I can honestly say I'm very proud of. I'm always taking shortcuts and using textures and such in my artworks and I'm still likely to do that. But from start to finish this was a completely traditional work and I believe it's one of my best.

So, for your enjoyment, I present, The Giraffe Dreaming. I won't give you a story or an explanation but I hope you will enjoy imagining one for yourselves.

Thank God for images that just pop into your head sometimes. They are in my opinion the most enjoyable things to draw. :heart:

:love:

P.S. Apologies for the poor quality photograph, will scan tomorrow hopefully!
