Tell Me a Story Froggy
Colored portrait of little boy talking to a frog He’s about two years old
Cocquille paper ..stiple surface and I use it for all my work…strong enough for watercolor or color pencils and that is what I used here…I use water when I need it and spray it with a fine mist to bring out more color…and use a hairdryer.
This was a commission

Lovely painting Margaret.
Margaret Harris replied
Thankyou Jacquik….each time I spell your name I have to make sure not to spell it wrong because I have no idea how to pronounce it..lol xx
Sara Kosovic
WOW! Great work.. also im curious about the paper you mentioned. Where can it be purchased? I use watercolour and pencils quite alot together and im always on the look out for paper that handles both well :) thank youuuu
Margaret Harris replied
They don’t make it anymore…I’ve been looking for it everywhere. This picture was done a while before I started RB. Isn’t that always the way…you really like something and they stop making it…let you know if I come across it. Thankyou for the compliment Sara
Sara Kosovic
Oh that would be right! Most annoying when you come across a great product & all of a sudden it disappears of the shelfs… yes that would be great, let me know if you happen to stumble by it again :) Cheers!!!

This is so sweet – my youngest daughter still talks to frogs. I love the imagination you can see in this painting.
Margaret Harris replied
Thankyou Lora…I remember my two did the same thing…I remember my sister and I when we were quite young had this frog…and when I think of it I still laugh…We stuck it down my granmother’s drain in her bathroom sink and we couldn’t get it out…All you could see is this frog looking up at you..lol…I can imagine my grandmother when she found it…she had a sense of humour thankfully…This piece was a commission and I did four pieces for them over the years
