Peter Pan
Watercolor painting, Oct 2009
For an upcoming challenge in “Fine Arts Influenced by Literature.” For the book “Peter Pan: or, The Boy Who Wouldn’t Grow Up,” by James M. Barrie.
i tried to go along with the description of Barrie’s for Captain Hook. He dressed in the style of Charles II, & liked to smoke two cigars at once. In case children see this, hee hee, i painted the smoke to look like poisonous skulls.
Peter Pan belongs to the following groups:

Arrrrrrrrrgh! That is pure brilliance pinky! Hook looks just the way I envisioned him from reading the book also. You also captured how slight in size Peter is described in the book. All the details are wonderful – the rats, the water, the crocodile, the timepiece, Tinkerbell, the deck – it’s brillo!!!!!! Well done!!!

Like your fun approach. Yes, even in children’s illustrations we need to look at what we are influencing in them…
