20x200 Print: Sugarcoat

Prints of Michelle Hinebrook's painting Sugarcoat, meant to evoke the taste of candy, are available on 20x200 for only 20 bucks. If you've got a little kid who's a fan of candy and of the colour pink, it would be pretty on the wall in her (or his) room.

Apparently the full colour spectrum set is sold out but you can still get sets of four in pink, green, orange, and blue at the Psanky Psanky etsy shop. What a gorgeous heirloom.
