Acrylic on stretched canvas, ready to hang.

Signed on the back.

My Neighbour Totoro, a beloved Studio Ghibli anime movie from my childhood with the guardians of the forest watching over two sisters and their family. I painted this with my own children in mind as something to hang in their bedroom to bring the sense of peace and comfort the guardians gave to the sisters.

There are lots of small elements in this piece that I love: the nightscape backdrop with black and subtle dark blue hues, the grey in the moon, the splatter of stars beyond the moon.
