"The Frog Prince", (c)1997. Acrylic on canvas. Original size: 16"W x 20"H. I saw a photo like this in a stock photography book and was inspired to paint something similar. My goal is to paint a series of "Fairy Tales" for hanging on the walls of our baby nursery. So far, this is the only one I've done, but we don't have any kids yet so I've got a little more time. (haha) Thanks for looking.

Amazing and enchanted painting. Your children will have a wonderful range of fairy tales to admire when you have children. I love Fairy tale art and there is a beautifully illustrated book I have on the fairy tale of the frog prince. You have a wonderful idea to prepare for your children;fairy tales are a magical gift especially with such a talented mother as the artist.Arevik Tunyan 21 Aug 2007
