little golden tales tribute at nucleus

(gouache)

Here's my piece for the Little Golden Tales show at Nucleus! It's a tribute to Little Golden Books, Mary Blair, and Lord of the Rings all in one shot!

I was so happy to have been invited to participate in this show. I love Golden Books! Working on this piece was so great because I was able to paint it traditionally, and had creative freedom to choose whatever I wanted. I chose Lord of the Rings because I've always wanted to do a piece based on the books/films. I also chose to pay tribute to Mary Blair's cover for "I Can Fly" as it is my all time favorite Little Golden Book. 

The opening reception is Saturday, January 18th. The show will run from January 18th - February 9th. The artwork should also be available online to view on Nucleus' website.
