Clementine 31 x 24 hippopotamus watercolor
I had a lot of fun painting this hippo. I tried to keep my pallet limited, meaning only working with a small selection of colors. But at the last minute I couldn’t stand it anymore and I had to bust in a whole bunch of ORANGE. My friend Sarah Grubb, also a painter, loves orange, and it always reminds me of her. I recently had to rename this painting. Originally I thought it was a male hippo and it has been named Bubba, until I found out she was a she and renamed her Clementine for my friend Mary at Taste.
