Red Riding Hood


When I posted the photographs of my daughter in the snow some people thought, as I myself did, that she looked like Red Riding Hood. I couple of years ago I painted this very character and thought I'd post those pictures this morning, so here they are, the first of my paintings to be included on this blog.
Beneath them is a charcoal drawing of a fox playing in the snow. I love working in charcoal and have used it a lot in recent months. I am often inspired by the author/illustrator Alexis deacon (Slow Loris, Beegu and others) and love his cover for Soonchild that I recently bought as a present for someone dear to me. What a talent! Alexis I mean, not me!
