Sit with me

This monumental and very serious toad has not a care in the world. Sitting squatly, no fear, just chill. I am forever chasing looseness in my style, and this piece captures that with the flowers that were formed at the first pass of this painting, complete with the underpainting showing through. Playing with large sizes and giant form, this toad is 1.5 ft tall and wide, it's just another way to highlight the tiny things around us and give them the stage, up front and centre.
