Here my new piece for sale at a great show at Chicago's Gallery 27, called "Dreaming Child" which opened on Friday, August 31. The show is all artwork based on children's stories, fables, and fairy tales. I based mine on the Aesop's fable of the Fox and the Crow. The crow has a piece of cheese and the fox coaxes it away from him by at first praising the crow's physical appearance, and the inducing him to caw and drop the cheese by saying that the crow must have a beautiful voice to match it's beautiful appearance. The crow, so flattered and full of pride, opens his beak and caws his caustic caw, dropping the cheese to the waiting fox. Fox wins. The painting itself was created by tea staining a background tone, and then gouache on top.
