"Henry and Luigi"
(This was originally created as a gift for Tyler's teacher.)

ReplyDeleteKristin, your hand painted prints are such a good idea! And they look beautiful too. I'm wondering who posed for you to sketch the hands? My husband patiently let me take like 100 photos of his hands so I'd have references for my artwork! :)
