A young hippopotamus peers over an invisible barrier, its head tilted with curious, expressive eyes and textured gray-brown skin rendered in soft watercolor and ink. The composition is intimate and playful, with the hippo occupying the lower half of a cream-white ground, creating a sense of gentle wonder and connection. At home in a nursery, child's bedroom, or playful living space. Made to order by hand at our own Denver facility, it arrives as nine wood panels, each a half-inch thick with a keyhole on the back so it hangs easily. The natural grain shows through the artwork, so no two come out exactly alike.
