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. 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. :-)

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!

Textured colors of spotted, mottled purple, gold and green. An ink drawing of a rabbit-like creature stares with distress and wonder outward. It has a small nose and mouth. Its clawed arms hang protectively in front of it. NOTE: This description created especially for my lovely blind friend, Georgiana. :-)

Go Deep to Find Your Bliss.
Life can often feel chaotic. Unbalanced. Stressful.
Try and see that it is just on the surface.
Stop frantically treading water just to stay
afloat amidst the craziness.
Instead, choose to go deep.
Deep down, where the restless tides abate.
Deep within, where inner calm resides.
Where bliss can be found.

On a watercolor background of blue, two thirds of which is water with pale vertical stripes and the top one third a highly textured sky with yellow sun. Frantically treading water at the surface, an orange sullen creature with yellow horns peeks above. At the very bottom of the picture, deep within the water and tied with a string, a pinkish balloon gently floats. Inside it is a red heart.

Gorgeous Monsters and Their Pets Meet Ms. Premivarria of the Chewston tribe & her Screaming Meemees: Alto, Basil and Suprema. A rather stern creature, deep green in color and patterned in intricate and interlocking swirls, relaxes upon an ornate upholstered chair. She gazes languidly into the distance, while her three six-legged felines of vivid orange mewl for attention. One clawed tentacle dangles a toy playfully for her pets.

GUARDIAN MONSTER ALPHABET POSTER
What the heck is a Guardian Monster?
I am so glad you asked. Perhaps you've heard of guardian angels -- those lovely, winged beings who guide and protect you? Well, when the job requires a specialized "monster point of view", these eager fellows step up! They may not be as attractive as their more famous counterparts, but they are very loyal and work hard on your behalf. Most of the time. They do have a wee tendency to get their feelings hurt if they are not feeling appreciated. And yes, they have been known to play a practical joke now and again, just to amuse themselves, BUT, for the most part, they are quite reliable and will be there when you need them.

A word of caution: I have not yet met any guardian monster whom one might call pretty. They are not. In fact some can be downright ugly. Depending on their underlying natures and current mood, they might also appear grouchy, whiney, bad-tempered or exhibit any number of not-so-nice personalities. That is not their fault -- they were born that way. So, if you are looking for pretty, fairy-like, always-smiling, ever-friendly types of beings, this is most definitely not the poster for you. These fellows, despite their diminutive stature, mean business. They were built to handle stress, anger, fear, all kinds of unpleasant feelings, and they look like it!

Set against a golden graduated background, a series of stacked blocks, with a strange assortment of monsters standing or sitting on them. Some are sleeping, some are glaring, most are smiling (in a monster kind of way). Each is holding his/her favorite letter of the alphabet.

Entranced
I love to read and every once in a while, I find a book that I cannot put down, no matter what is happening around me. For those of you who have ever been lucky enough to encounter this transcendent state of being, this drawing is for you! :-) Imagine curled up in your favorite comfy chair, with a hot cup of tea and plate of delicious cookies nearby. All of your "friends" surround you and you have found that peaceful space, entranced with the story before you.

On a muted dark green watercolor wash, a detailed pencil/graphite drawing of a young girl staring avidly at an open book. She is seated in a chair and surrounded by all kinds of creatures, including a turtle, rabbit, owl, alligator, snake, fish and bird. Next to her on a small table, a cup of steaming tea and a plate of cookies.

Teacups. Tiny monsters. Enjoying a peaceful moment to themselves. 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 of two of freshly brewed sweetness. This sleepy creature drank a bit too much sweet jasmine tea and found it hard to stay awake. Shhhhhh...

Little monsters have been know to slip quietly into kitchens when no one is around and sneak a sip of two of freshly brewed sweetness. This sleepy creature drank a bit too much sweet jasmine tea and found it hard to stay awake. Shhhhhh... Set against a rosy colored wallpaper with pale blooms, a dainty china teacup decorated with swirling buds, sits quietly on a table top. Inside, a strange being reposes, with heavily lidded eyes. Atop its head are pink branches with teal colored leaves. It appears to be deeply pondering the universe as it slips into a blissful sleep.

Monsters have babies too.
Baby monsters are even harder to find than the elusive "baby" pigeon. Very few folks can say that they've seen them, let alone created their portraits. I have been lucky. As you might imagine, monster parents can be a bit protective. Mothers in particular. They consider us (humans) more than a bit strange and potentially dangerous. It took most of my free time, lots of monster "treats" and carefully followed Monster Etiquette to befriend just a few of them. Even then, I felt a bit nervous and on edge as I made sketches of their most beloved offspring. It is always a good idea to remind oneself that monsters are ultimately unpredictable creatures, and should be given proper respect at all times.

One teeny, solitary baby stands precariously on Moms scaly leg.

Monsters have babies too. Baby monsters are even harder to find than the elusive "baby" pigeon. Very few folks can say that they've seen them, let alone created their portraits. I have been lucky. Against a brilliant blue sky, with just a hint of mountains in the distance, a teeny baby monster trembles with uncertainty on its mothers scaly leg, grasping her long sharp claw for balance. It nervously stares (at me) with large bulging eyes, while the other hand is clamped firmly in its mouth. Bright scales of chartreuse, vivid orange and crimson red cover the body of this wee creature, accompanied by slender candy-cane-like curved horns atop its bald green head. I find it endearingly adorable. NOTE: This description created especially for my lovely blind friend, Georgiana. :-)
