El Gigante (the giant)

This work is 5" x 7" ink and watercolor on board. Francisco Goya is one of my favorite painters. I especially love his paintings of giants, as I made this piece the giant just appeared, so I worked around the image with texture and color. Sometimes images just appear, especially with water based media like inks and watercolors.

The art work  is sealed with an acrylic varnish and framed with a maple wood frame. It is ready to hang, needing only a nail and a home.
