The Grinch and Max

Watercolor of the Grinch and Max against a purple snowy background

Watercolor, with acrylic variations

The Grinch is my wife’s favorite, so he’s a subject I keep coming back to—and one I like to paint just for fun. I’ve always liked the loose, playful lines in Dr. Seuss’s work. They feel like a natural fit for my own hand.

The purple version is watercolor. The two paintings below are acrylic, each another excuse to spend a little time with these characters.

The Grinch and Max are characters created by Dr. Seuss. These paintings are my personal interpretations.
