Title: The Wistful Prince
Medium: graphite
Size: 11″x11″
Artist: Mark Johnson
Year: 2011
About the painting: I was imagining how a simple Frog might respond to the magic, beauty and poignancy of a Pensive Dancer. Perhaps the magic would bring about a certain wistfulness in the Frog, and make it wish it were a Prince who could kiss the Dancer who could awaken her from her inward gaze with a simple Kiss.
About the artist: I like to explore and share my sense of Wonder & Whimsy
