First Snow by Janet Chui

First Snow by

One of my earlier paintings but all-time favourites, and there is a story behind it: I adopted two dwarf hamsters from an animal rescue, and the smaller white one was blind, and followed the other one around faithfully. Though not born from the same family, the two creatures were inseparable, and inspired this painting.

Watercolours on canvas paper, 8 × 5 inches.
