This painting was done in response to an invitation by my good friend and colleague Claus Brusen of Denmark. Claus is curating a show featuring many of his artist friends from around the world. Works in the exhibition will focus primarily on the stories of Hans Christian Andersen, in honor of his 200th birthday. The exhibition is scheduled to open in April 2005 at Voergaard Slot.

Claus (when not organizing exhibitions) is an incredibly talented artist. Please visit his web site at www.clausbrusen.com to view his amazingly imaginative paintings. There you can also learn more about the H. C. Andersen exhibition.
