into the garden - summer blooms
This is the third in a series of paintings that illuminate the transformative beauty of the natural world. To visually express how total immersion into the deep colors of gardens and wild spaces can create a profound sense of peace; restore wonder; and generate calm in an increasingly chaotic world.

Summer flowers bursting in red, yellow and orange blossoms, backlit by brightness. Tucked into a lower corner, a gently abstract face, smiles with pleasure. NOTE: This description created especially for my lovely blind friend, Georgiana. :-)

Gorgeous Monsters & Their Pets
Welcome to my new interview series. I am the official human spokesperson for the Guardian Monster Guild, editor of the "Monster Times & Review" and author of the glamorous tell-all book, "What Monsters Want". These are hard-won credentials that I have worked tirelessly to obtain. As an ordinary human being, entering the realm of Monsterdom requires a rigorous determination, and an ego that can survive all manner of taunts, threats and indignation. I have endured countless nips, pokes and licks from numerous monsters whose intent, it seems, was to provoke me into giving up. I have proved them wrong! NOTE: This latest set of interviews on monster pets is for human eyes only and includes interviews with a select group from the Gorgeous Monsters Society. (This is the name they give themselves.) Here we discuss their feelings of unabashed adoration for their beloved pets as well as their care and feeding.

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.

On a highly textured background of gold, orange and green, stands a solitary egret gazing into the distance with one blazing yellow eye. On top of its Cerulean blue and Tyrian purple feathers and legs, abstract patterns in similar colors are drawn. NOTE: This description created especially for my lovely blind friend, Georgiana. :-)

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...

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.

The Peaceful Garden With eyes closed in peaceful meditation, a white cat considers the nature of life. Surrounded by a flowering tree and small hillocks of varying shades of deep umber, bright orange flowers spark in the quiet space like fire. A curious owl watches nearby and wishes that he would ask his companion about its enigmatic smile. NOTE: This description created especially for my lovely blind friend, Georgiana. :-)

Against a deep umber, rust, purple and green background, the top of a pumpkin orange abstract head with closed eyes. On its crown, a patch of dandelions whose dried white heads open into full spheres, parachuting seeds as they glide through the wind.

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!

Its clawed arms hang protectively in front of it. NOTE: This description created especially for my lovely blind friend, Georgiana. :-)

In a glass jar, two cat friends find a comfortable place to chill. One is a Siamese cat, the other a rather perplexed looking creature, who is maybe wondering how he got here.

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.
