The Poet 22 x 30" Watercolour on clay panel

CA$6,000.00

The Poet represents the creative expression of pure emotion. In partnership with the honesty of watercolour, butterflies fluttering in the stomach are rendered in 24k gold leaf, because feelings at their core are untarnished. In a world beset by fakery and illusion, the winged exhale is a metaphor for artistic liberation. As an artist portraying an artist, I echo the release so that truth can shine in the light.

The Poet is a pure watercolour painting—all whites are the white of the clay panel, there is no white paint. Granulating pigments and gold in the background shimmer and vibrate freely while the subject is rendered with care. 24k gold leaf has been applied to a mirror shine on the butterflies, with clever shaping on the wings. The process of creating this painting is documented on my Instagram. This artwork is for someone who loves and appreciates whimsical, thought-provoking imagery in the style of magical realism. I’m grateful to my muse for this painting, poet Jean-Guy Forget.

Watercolour, 22 × 30”, painted with professional light-fast pigments, on Ampersand Aquabord (clay panel). The front of this artwork is protected with Krylon UV-Resistant varnish, Golden Isolation Coat, and Krylon UV Archival gloss varnish. It has a 2” deep cradled panel which has been stained in deep brown walnut colour and waxed, ready to hang. The painting is signed by me, JC Little, on the front and has the title and date on the back. I will include a certificate of authenticity with this painting. Because of its size and varnished surface, it must be specially packaged for shipping and therefore a shipping and handling surcharge is added. As with all artwork, to preserve the painting from deterioration, display away from direct sunlight and humidity.
