Banjo Recital

Emily Winfield Martin is a #1 New York Times best-selling author and illustrator and we’ve had the pleasure of working with for her entire career.

She says about this portrait, “I created this image after I got a bee in my bonnet about the notion of a girl playing the banjo in the middle of the woods. A stag, bear, fox, rabbit, squirrel and owl are gathered 'round to hear her song.”

“The whole time I was working on this painting, I kept thinking she was singing/playing them the Burl Ives song Buckeye Jim. I feel almost certain that's what she's playing, there among the animals and the lily-of-the-valley.”

Comes with a matching, natural colored envelope.
