Red Riding Hood: At Home in the Forest

Red Riding Hood: At Home in the Forest

The story you know has a wolf and a girl and a forest full of danger. Jean-Pierre Weill painted a different ending: Red Riding Hood curled up against the wolf, completely at ease, golden leaves above them, the forest quiet and familiar. The wolf is not the threat. He is the companion.

The Work

Red Riding Hood is a 3D painting on glass from Jean-Pierre Weill Studios. The two figures sit together at the front of the composition, the pale trees receding in layers behind the glass, golden leaves catching the light above. The red cloak offers warmth of color in a cool, still forest. This painting says that friendship can be found in the most unlikely places when the creative mind runs free.

For the Reader, the Dreamer, the Storyteller

Red Riding Hood works as fairy tale wall art for a reading corner, a creative space, or a child's room. It is also a gift for anyone who grew up with stories and understands that the best ones always had more going on than they appeared to.

Collectors drawn to the spirit of Red Riding Hood may also find that quality in Wildflowers, where a girl in a red cloak stands in a forest full of color and hidden wonders, and in Friendship, where a small girl stands beside a large purple elephant and nobody questions it.
