The Mysterious Monster March: THE CONVERSATION
Illustration from a children's picture book that I am working on.

"After Meenu gobbles the crisp tartlets that
are offered, he asks "Where is everyone going?"
"I'm not sure" growls one, scratching its neck.
"It is a BIG mystery!", another whispers, smiling
nervously. One teeny monster mumbles
"I'm just following the others."

The Mysterious Monster March: THE CONVERSATION
Illustration from a children's picture book that I am working on.

A strange crowd of monsters gather curiously around a small blue monster. They stare at it, with concern bordering on fear. A conversation is taking place about where they are going and why.

Monsters in a Teacup
Humans aren't the only ones who enjoy a spot of tea now and again. Little monsters have been know to slip quietly into kitchens when no one is around and sneak a sip or two of freshly brewed sweetness. Alas, some of these tiny creatures may become so enamored with the tea, that they sip themselves silly and fall into a state of euphoria, causing all manner of behavior.

Set against a flower covered wallpaper, piled into a porcelain teacup, are 5 tiny monsters. Peeking from behind, one more peers above the tabletop.

into the garden - peace of mind
This is the fourth in a series of paintings that illuminate the transformative beauty of the natural world. To visually express how total immersion into wild spaces can create a profound sense of peace; restore wonder; and generate calm in an increasingly chaotic world.

I haven't been online much lately the last 2 weeks or so, & it is because our house is being renovated, & also, I'm in the middle of painting a really complex fantasy scene for a family in Texas that I am looking forward to finishing & debuting, hopefully in the next 10 days it should be done. It is a really time-consuming one & has required me to devote to it the vast majority of my time every day #art #artwork #painting #paintings #wip #workinprogress #handmade #illustration #creating #create
