A King . . . Midas

Inspired by Manon Gauthier's response to the theme King on Illustration Friday I set myself the task of a Midas, I want him to have silver tears and I would like to work with this story more. 

The greedy king . . . playing with his gold

I am clutching at what little day light we have available and the last of the leaves before they blow away, so I did this in my lunch hour. 
The leaves on my cherry tree were so golden this morning and I wondered what they would look like as gold coins  . . . according to Finlay they look like pringles 
(I think he was hungry).
