I really loved the prince character from The Dryad and the King's Son, so I wanted to do another piece with him, showing him before he set out on the hunting expedition that led to his encounter with the lonely/predatory (depending on how you look at it) dryad. (maybe I'll write the full fairy tale one day?) Unfortunately, I got his hair wrong - maybe it's his brother instead? Still, this was fun, and it turned out much like I wanted it to, though in retrospect, I wish I had done it in larger format. I wanted the background to look very simple and minimal.

Watercolor and brown ink, 2.5" by 3.5" on cardstock, July 2008.

The original is available for sale at my Etsy store, if you're interested.

I can’t believe this doesn’t have any comments yet! *first comment snags as a favorite* I adore the layout of this picture, and the style. Very well done. Beautiful colors. I love his expression. This belongs on the cover of a book.

Ah, well. Ca n’t tag it just yet, as I am on a secure computer at my work. Will have to remember to come back and snag this when I get home. 2
