This piece is based on Thumbelina, a fairy tale by Hans Christen Anderson. I'm not really a fan of the story, but there are a lot of moments in it that can be visually intriguing, and after thinking about it I was hard pressed to choose which image I wanted to do!

I settled on a moment in the story where "Tiny" (as she's nicknamed) ends up sitting in a flower. I chose to insert some patterned texture, making the piece feel more "mixed media" than I usually paint.
