Description A recent painting I did while working on some commission work. I was really happy with the colors in this one. It reminds me of Spring time.

I painted it using watercolor on Arches hot press paper and it measures 7x7 inches.

Looks like a very innocent version of the Great God Pan... who usually is depicted as frightening and sinister. I really love this work, will be featuring soon.

Beautiful painting.
He reminds me of a the very first character the youngest girl meets in "Narnia", when she just went through the wardrobe.

Wonderful. He seems so gentle like spring buds...but he seem a bit melancholy...? Maybe because Spring is always over so quickly?
