The way the snail is looking so terrefied up at the huge hands just makes me laugh.
I don't know what else to say other than it's a good use of colors, and it's a very good drawing.

Very cool watercolor style!! I really like the effects you did for the wooden log.

:-) Richard Svensson replies: "Thanks; you do some amazing watercolor work yourself!"

With this leprechaun's luck he won't have any gold and will have to be ransomed by his mother in law lol! I love the way this pic is put together, take away even one peice and it still is good but everything together makes it great!

:-) Richard Svensson replies: "Aah; but leprechauns are sneaky little buggers. They always get away! Thanks for your very nice comment!"

:-) Richard Svensson replies: "Thank you! And leprechauns that are so hard to capture12"

Probably should have been a shamrock in his hat, not a clover

Other than that - nice illustration

:-) Richard Svensson replies: "Couldn’t find one on this particular day."
