Dream Folk

Dream Folk (ver.1)

Please see here for a slightly more detailed version.

New works for the Singing Tree series; concerning our relationship with nature, this time with a semi-domesticated theme. I wanted to merge the concept of wild and tame (the pointy teeth and pretty frocks), leisure and responsibility (aesthetic prettifying with the more responsible idea of replanting, etc) The majority of these particular works are mixed media, combining digital illustration, acrylic and watercolour painting, paper and digital collage.

I may create a print sampler set of these images for the shop soon!

EDIT: Individual 10x8 prints of these new works are now in store.

It's good to be back! And thank you so very much for the lovely birthday wishes in my previous post ♥

I had quite a wonderful day indeed, made even more special by finally adopting a tiger with the WWF.

EDIT: They have arrived!

I study these pieces & immediately see a secret society of wolves holding a meeting in the very rose garden it planted years before.

What this work does is challenge the viewer to consider the nurturing side of creatures that are easily dismissed as being violent, or threatening. Not only are some of them wearing dresses in these paintings, they are also busying themselves -- happily it seems! -- with the work of tending to nature.

Very inspiring, Lou. Makes me wonder if the buttercups that freckle my yard in summer were planted by coyotes.

Beautiful! Love this new work - I was especially drawn to "Surprise!" and the new silhouettes - I have a huge weakness for silhouettes.

I love the pointy teeth and sweet frocks. I just started a painting last week with some cute characters and then, before I knew it, one of them had a mouth full of wicked teeth! Must be something in the air right now....
