The Little Match Girl

Watercolor, Charcoal and Coffee
This was one of my first experiments with painting with watercolor in the face and features before the tea and coffee. The layers of black were done with watered down charcoal and I smudged some on the face. My thoughts when creating this piece was of sorrow and happiness. The Little Match Girl written by Hans Christian Anderson is a sad piece because a little girl freezes to death trying to sell her matches rather than go home to be beaten by her dad. Before she dies, every time she lit a match she would see beautiful images of her dead grandma and Thanksgiving.
