This fantasy watercolor and wc dye painting is #2 in my series of 3 Giant Flower Forest paintings. This one is entitled "Little Red Hat Lady Hums to a Society Meeting." You will notice that all of the characters speak or sing - given my graphic design background, paintings aren't complete unless there are words on them, no? The frames are hand painted too in my original leaf design and coated with 4 coats of gloss varnish so they are very SHINEY.

These are painted with watercolor, dyes, ink, pencil, acrylic inks and the finest synthetic non-fur brushes using all archival materials. These three paintings are currently on display at a local art center and have all been sold. (yay!)

Since I have been fortunate enough to illustrate one published children's book, I of course long for more. I have stories and scenes planned out in my head for these characters in my Giant Flower Forest series and hope to do another book with them someday.

P.S. These have been republished here to hopefully add some better pictures.
