Marching on a Butterbur Leaf

2020

This whimsical artwork depicts a small figure with a blunt bob haircut and serene expression standing atop an oversized green leaf. The character wears a mint green shirt and white skirt while holding golden spoons that appear to be in motion. The composition combines elements of fantasy and nature, with the figure's contemplative downward gaze contrasting with the dynamic pose of the utensils. Created on high quality linen paper, the piece showcases a delicate color palette dominated by warm earth tones and cool greens.
