This is the unique original Watercolour painting by Gwen Green.

Beautifully painted watercolour representations of the story of Rip Van Winkle by Gwen Green.

Rip sees his son after 20 years and is struck by the likeness.

Rip Van Winkle, a short story by American author Washington Irving, first published in 1819, follows a Dutch-American villager in colonial America who is nagged by his wife, meets some mysterious dwarves, imbibes their strong liquor and falls into a deep sleep in the Catskill Mountains. He awakes 20 years later to a very changed world, having missed the American Revolution.
