Description
Peter Pan "Cute as a Button" Original Watercolor on 11" x 14" Paper by Toby Bluth (Walt Disney, c. 2000s). From the island of Neverland, where the laws of reality give way to the enchantment of childhood imagination, comes this delightful watercolor titled, "Cute as a Button" by Toby Bluth (1940 - 2013). This gorgeous 11" x 14" painting captures a delightful moment in the life of the sassy fairy from Peter Pan. Tinker Bell, the embodiment of spunk and charm, takes center stage in this endearing scene. Rendered with precision and grace, she exudes an aura of both enchantment and mischief. Her expressive face reveals a delightful mixture of surprise and curiosity as she finds herself in an unexpected predicament. Toby Bluth's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every aspect of the composition. Tinker Bell has fallen backwards with her dainty feet above her head. Her fall backwards over a spool of thread, a scatter of buttons, and sewing paraphernalia becomes a ballet of color and movement, beautifully choreographed by the artist's brush. Included is a 5" x 7" reference photo of Tinker Bell's live-action model Margaret Kerry. Disney animator Marc Davis used Kerry as his primary reference when creating the character. The original Bluth watercolor is framed to 23.5" x 20". "Cute as a Button" captures the essence of Tinker Bell, a character beloved for her tenacity and her ability to spread a sprinkle of pixie dust and a little magic wherever she goes. This painting is a heartwarming reminder of the enduring appeal of Peter Pan's timeless story and the joy it brings to audiences of all ages. It invites us to rediscover the wonder of Tinker Bell and to embrace the magic of unexpected moments, where even a tumble can be as "cute as a button." Signed by the artist in his unique signature style and presented in Fine condition. All frames are sold as-is. Photos are not representative of actual frame condition.Auction Info
