‘Hanuman Suddenly Appears’ 12x9 inch #watercolorandink #drawing on #shizenpaper Hanuman’s showing up like this was quite a welcome surprise to me. According to my research the courageous monkey is patron god of meditation and works diligently to preserve dharma (the path of right-living, justice, ethics and etc). Hanuman symbolizes faithful service to a cause, and self-discipline. I appreciate him rising up outta my subconscious at a time when I am seeking deeper commitment to daily practices of yoga and meditation. #spiritualjourney #hanuman #meditation #contemporaryart #meditationart #watercolorartist #inkdrawing #treeart #illustrationart #watercolourart #artefigurativo #peinturecontemporaine #kunst #personalmythology #artcollectors #spiritualart #watercolordrawing #pnwart
‘Hansel and Gretel’ The Grimm Brother’s story mesmerized me as a child. The lost children finding the gingerbread house in the dark wood, the chicken bone Hansel extends through the bars of the cage to prove he isn’t fat enough to be eaten yet; and when the witch is shoved in her own oven - well! #fairytale #mixedmedia #contemporaryillustration #childrensbookillistration #watercolorandinkdrawing #artillustration
Details from recent work ‘Hansel and Gretel’ I’ll try to share the whole image in a second post. IG was acting hinky and wouldn’t let me here. #instaglitch #carandache #mixedmediaart #watercolorandink #grimmsfairytales #artillustration #narrativeart #figurativeart #pnwartist #colorfulart #contemporaryart #childrensbookillustration
On my table this week, #workinprogress I like to have two or three pieces going simultaneously so I can switch when something is drying. Not a lot of time to paint this week, but feeling gratitude for family, friends and abundance. #studioprogress #thanksgiving #artlife #studioprocess #watercolorartist #pnwart #inartwetrust #watercolorandink #creativeprocess #watercolor #mixedmediaart #callmeluckylucky #contemporaryartist #contemporarydrawing #magicisafoot
