Portrait of Knick Knackerson


This one was inspired by Arthur Villeneuve(click here to see a blind contour drawing I did of one of his called "the hunters"), a champion of art naif here in Quebec. It differs in that scale is used to give perspective, but like Villeneuve, it is drawn from imagination. It depicts Knick Knackerson roasting a marshmallow and a weiner, all while painting behind his back. Can you find the beaver? I had lots of fun with this one.
