ORIGINAL - Only one available
I drew this Heron in my sketch book quite some time ago when travelling through Japan, while visiting a Silver Museum, pieces like these are often thought to have been used for keeping sweets for royal families. (the top half would come off revealing the sweet cavity/compartment)
In this sketch I have added our southern cross and our cute little Kotare/Kingfisher. I absolutely love Kingfishers. They just seem to have such personalities and soul. I have one that often sits on a tree close to my studio. And the little Japanese characters to the right says Ema Frost. - Visually I like the look of Japanese characters as to me it's like a picture/art element that adds more dimension and character to a piece.
