Original artwork description:

I love to make gingerbread man cookie for my family. I thought about painting it. But after looking through tons of gingerbread man paintings online, I try to avoid realistic style. In my mind, the gingerbread man has a naughty character. Just like in the story "Gingerbread man", he says "Run, run as fast as you can. You can't catch me. I am the gingerbread man." I am looking for a way to express the naught, childish and happy feeling of a gingerbread man. One day, the feeling comes to me. I draw a digital sketch on tablet and refine it on a cradled wood panel.
I also paint a "Gingerbread lady" to make them a couple. Otherwise it seems unfair for gingerbread man to be alone during holiday season. :D

Although I have tried my best to match the color of digital profile and the actual product, the color might still vary depending on different monitor settings. Please be aware of this fact.

I hope you enjoy this painting.
