Experience the enchantment of "This Way, My Friend," a captivating 22"x30" mixed media painting on paper. This artwork invites you to embark on a visual journey, exploring themes of companionship, guidance, and the enduring presence of a faithful friend along life's meandering path.

Set against a muted color palette of greens, browns, beiges, whites, and mauve, this painting depicts a young woman gracefully adorned in a flowing lilac-colored dress. She walks serenely along a dirt road, surrounded by low greenery in the foreground and a backdrop of distant trees. At her side, a majestic stag strides with her, forging a profound connection.

The artistry of "This Way, My Friend" is an intriguing blend of abstract representation, stylized elements reminiscent of pen and ink, and a touch of whimsical comic charm.

Original Mixed Media painting on 22"x30" Fabriano Artistico Paper, luxuriously mould-made 100% cotton. Acid-free, pH neutral, chlorine-free. I have been painting on Fabriano paper for the past 10+ years because of its excellent all around qualities. All care was taken through the entire process to keep the final outcome as pristine as possible. However, sometimes unplanned events occur during the painting process that cause "bleeds", where leakage of fluid pigment may bleed through barriers and cause staining. This is rectified where possible/sensible but ultimately some bleeds may remain, ultimately adding to the charm of an original artwork.
