The Witch's Apprentice: Time to Fly, Acrylic and Varnish on Wood Panel by Louisville artist Tommy Rallis
Dimensions: 6" x 6"
”The Witch’s Apprentice is a series that follows a small hamster taken in by a woodland witch, who nurtures him in the ways of magic. In these paintings, the apprentice learns to brew potions, ride a broom, and wield spells against formidable enemies. Amid the dangers, there are gentler moments: shared lessons, fireside warmth, and the discovery of friends. It is a fairy tale of growth and independence. While the imagery is whimsical and at times perilous, the deeper thread speaks to the resilience of curiosity, the vulnerability of learning, and the power of friendship to soften even the darkest landscapes. Magic is another word for perseverance in the face of fear and a light given flame through connection.”
