A child's gift

In my work it is refreashing to revisit "simplicity". 
Here is a lovely little piece I did today for a soon-to-be six your old.
I loved this poem when I was a child and I still love it.
It is The End from Now We Are Six by A.A. Milne.





 
Schmincke gouache, metal nibs and a touch of gilding on Ormoline size.
I have kept the lines in the manner that they were originally written.

Hi Gemma,
Your work is beautiful! and I like the poem, too. Also I scrolled down to your Easter post--it's beyond words!

my now semi-toothless six-yr-old gave you a gummy smile - I take it that means it passes her exacting standards...

nice to see some pure calligraphy kicking around int he blogosphere....
