Good night little one, snuggle down tight.
This painting was one side of the opening spread for the children’s book I illustrated called “Snuggled Away” written by Cate Storey. Lots of people ask me if the girl is modelled on my daughter Juliette, because of the curly hair, but actually I used many reference photos to get the model for this sleeping scene perfect!
Even though I have been primarily a figurative and portrait painter in my past career, this is one of the very few scenes with a human being, most pages are about the wonderful Australian animals in our country! I really wanted her to be a child that many kids could relate to, so the blue colour scheme and a traditional teddy bear are all very deliberate.
Acrylic, posca pens and conte on 230gsm textured art paper. Unframed, requires framing.
Size: A3 - 42cm (W) x 30cm (H)
Or 16.5 in (W) x 11.81 in (H)
