It's No Coincidence. That Morning We Saved a Frog From Dehydration.
Oil & Oil Pastel on Paper.

I was talking to the wizard in our back garden, thanking him for his adventures and how much they had changed my life. I was sharing my worries and he told me to ‘keep it simple, stupid’. I noticed the frogs laying content in the tulip flower heads.
Notes on this dream -
On our morning walk we came across a severely dehydrated frog. I could feel his ribs moving beneath the tissue I was carrying him in. We took him to a pond we’ve visited since we were kids and hoped there was water there, all the surrounding ones have since dried up. The pond was full. He was one relieved frog.

This paper has the exact same make-up as the original is painted on - 100% α-cellulose. Acid- and lignin-free. There is a visible structure to the paper which gives a textured look and feel close to the original.
It is certified ISO 9706. Which means it conforms to museum quality for the highest age resistance.
I scan the original (not photograph) so it is as accurate as can be. Including all the oily lumps and strokes of the originals. And then If it’s needed I colour-correct on a colour-accurate studio monitor with the original in front of me.
