Le Petite Artiste

Antoine De Saint Exupery's depiction of a Boa Constrictor eating a wild beast

     I first read Antoine De Saint Exupery's Le Petit Prince in my high school english class, senior year. I read it again, in its original french translation, during my sophomore year of college. Each time I read it, I was enchanted by Saint Exupery's simplistic yet heartfelt drawings of the Little Prince's journey, and the profound lesson's carefully hidden in between the lines of his text.  

     Inspired by Saint Exupery's artistry, I re-created four of his colorful drawings (complete with my own color palette) on small canvas and hung them in our living room.
