Peaceful Moment at Sunrise. A muted gray creature rests lightly upon a barren branch, high atop a solitary tree at sunrise. It's expression is calm and thoughtful. The expansive sunlit sky paints its face, feathered mane and furred body with orange, as its long tail wraps around the branch securely.

INNER MONSTERS
Inner Monsters don't necessarily look like "real" monsters. They are part of that constant chatter going on in the background of our own minds, shaping our view of the world. They can appear in a variety of forms, from human, animal, monster-like, even as plants! Most of us... ahem... keep our inner beasties tucked "safely" in the closet, hoping they won't decide to reveal themselves at inopportune times, causing all manner of embarrassing moments, like sudden extreme shyness, unexplained crying jags, overwhelming crankiness, or laughing out loud for no apparent reason, among others. Sound familiar?
The solution is (drum roll please...) to MEET your inner monsters, SEEK to understand them, EMBRACE them as yours, and then LEARN about yourself through them. Bring them out of your personal inner-verse and set them free!

A line drawing of a strange-looking young girl. Dressed in somber umber, with purple vine patterns, she stands staring out at the view with multicolored pinwheel eyes, appearing rather desperate and lonely. Her skimpy braided hair hangs limply on either side of her forlorn face. NOTE: This description created especially for my lovely blind friend, Georgiana. :-)

WELCOME SPRING!
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.

Against a background of swirling pinks and purples, silhouettes of abundant flowering plant life blooms. In the foreground, perched on a peaceful, abstract face, a pale taupe mourning dove rests. NOTE: This description created especially for my lovely blind friend, Georgiana. :-)

Apparently it's five years since I last made a #painting , according to the dates on my previous ones.
Easter weekend was wet so I needed something indoors to do.
I've never attempted a #panoramic #landscape before so figuring out how to do the mountain textures was interesting. There's still a bit to go, but I'm happy how things are progressing.
It took years from finding the location on a map to standing on the spot I took the photo this is based on (No Plein Air here when you've got to hike for hours and climb a mountain with everything on your back).
Fewer than ten people a year enjoy this perspective over the Tweed Valley from what I can make out from notes in the hut book near the lake at the head of the valley, and most of them are hunters, not photographers or painters, so looking forward to finishing it and enjoying some #artwork money can't buy. (I'll consider a sale, but this is more unique than a banana on a wall, and I like it myself, so offers should reflect this :-) )

The Girl and the Bear
In the quiet forest, walks a gentle bear. Upon his sunny back a young girl sleeps.

Early in the morning, at the edge of a forest of brown and purple, greens and gold, a smiling bear pads quietly across the grass. Caught in a sunbeam, a young girl in a flowered yellow dress is sleeping upon his back, her arms folded under her head. Plants, like ferns and budding flowers, line each side of the glade.
