'Gretel'
11x14"
Watercolour on 140lb Bockingford paper

"Gretel, the English Pointer is out playing with her hunting companion the Hawk. Racing along the heathery cliffs of Cornwall. Suddenly there, just past the old ruins of a tin mine engine house she spies an enchanted forest.
Creeping closer, and closer Gretel sniffs the air & stops in suprise as all the magical creatures come out to greet her...."

Historical reference: In ancient Medieval Britain, Pointers were traditionally used in Falconry, to hunt alongside the Hawks & Falcons, so I decided to include a Hawk here, as a nod to Gretel's heritage. (Gretel actually lives & plays in the beautiful state of Colarado, USA! :))
