Original mixed media piece at 40x27 in. I made it with charcoal, pastels, acrylic paint, and bleach. The piece took about 4-5 hours to complete. It is a symbol of comfort and protection. I make prints of these by scanning them with a large scanner at a local business, and then print them on large format inkjet. All prints are made to order and are available through my Etsy page.
