Goodnight My Prince

16" x 8 1/4"
Gouache, steel pens, white gold leaf

This piece was commissioned by a client on the occasion of his son's first birthday. The calligraphy is a casual humanist bookhand, and the letters dance, in muted shades of blue, green, and violet, amid stars gilded with genuine white gold. An example of simple, modern illumination.
