The Selfish Giant

These two watercolors are meant to illustrate parts of Oscar Wilde’s childrens’ story “The Selfish Giant”. One image shows the giant kicking the children out of his garden, then winter sets in for a few years in his garden until the children return, melting his icy heart and he learns that it’s nice to share and feel love. Awwww. It was an assignment for a watercolor class taught by an incredible painter and instructor Steven Player at the Academy of Art.
