Hansel and Gretel Box

-


It's almost that time of year again, the Art Auction fundraiser for the Maine Discovery Museum! This year artists were asked to get creative with a hinged wooden box. Mine is approximately 18"×24" and illustrates the Grimm Brothers story of Hansel and Gretel. Woodburning the pine filled the studio with the smell of wood smoke from home. A little bit of Maine in Texas! ♡ If you're interested in bidding or seeing the other offerings, stay tuned for pics on their website, https://mainediscoverymuseum.org , it's a great cause!

            24 x 24 inch mixed media collage on birch panel Copyright Robin Birrell 2015 - Do Not copy without permission This is my latest large work for entry into the 10th International Art Competition for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. The theme is "Tell Me the Stories of Jesus".     John 6: 9-14 tells of a lad who selflessly contributed his five barley loaves and two fishes to be used by the Savior, who miraculously fed the five thousand gathered to hear the Gospel message. This painting depicts the lad's older sister who, in my imagination, climbed into the foothills near Galilee to find her brother amongst the crowd and deliver the food she had lovingly prepared for him.   For this piece, I used whatever I felt like using at the time. It is a combination of acrylic, ink, colored pencil and, of course, Paper!
