Moon Roots

Tree grove on a lonely moonlit night!

Primula vialii in Moonlight

This Primrose, Primula viallii is a hardy and deciduous perennial which forms rosettes of somewhat hairy, toothed leaves over which bloom poker-like spikes of tubular flowers that are crimson when in bud but later open to violet-purple in summer (it's double L in 'viallii'...sorry, but if I change the post title it'll mess with the link.)

Neutral to acid soil in partial shade for these little ladies, please!

The fairy just showed up unannounced and unbidden...you may have to click to enlarge to see her there.

You'll find new art uploaded at Cosmic Persona Designs for your personal viewing pleasure...

Green Art for Earth Day 2007

Here's a new drawing, Unscene World, in honor of Earth Day. You see the phases of the Moon as the moonbushes grow in response to moonbeams--from the dark of the Moon, to New Moon, Crescent Moon, Gibbous Moon, and Full.

If you'd like to see more cooling green art mosey over to Cosmic Persona Designs if you wish...I'd love to see you there, and let's

Save the Planet, Yall!

Nothing to say about this drawing that I can think of. You?

Veratrum with Moonbushes

A botanical rendering of Veratrum with a patch of imaginary Moonbushes...Saturn's realism with Neptune's illusion...the kind of art I prefer two to one!

See more of this combination at Dreamyfish Art...real fish inside their favorite dreams--have a sneak peek!

Veratrum nigrum

Here's a partial version of my rendering of this lovely perennial with the 'fini version' to be uploaded soon. Let's make do 'til then.

Veratrum's berries range in shades of red-brown to black with leafish foliage that's quite lush, as you can see. The usual Silvery Tree Path is in the background. Silvery Tree Path is my first-ever dummy book created for children.

My second offering, Pattillo Armadillo and the Dream of Green was requested to attend an audience at Little, Brown in NYC and made the trip up North and back South to Georgia just fine. But no contract was clutched between his grabby claws yet he was gratified to interview about his Hero's Journey within the walls of such a prestigious and established publishing house.

Lone Critter, did you navigate here from my pages at Gather.com? If so, please leave a comment so I'll know you were about the place, okee dokee?

Else how will I ever know? All attributions are appreciated as well and Link Trades are welcome.

The Fork'd Way

Whether it's the road not taken, or the path you're on, Crossroads represent decision-making time...are you ready?

Pattillo Reaches the Great Lichen Forest

This drawing is from Pattillo Armadillo and the Dream of Green and shows a scene near the end of the story. You see Pattillo mustering his energy for the final leg of his journey...short little legs and all.

You see, the Great Lichen Forest was an ancient growth and contained within the smaller Blue Tree Forest.

Click on above title to stop by my pages at Gather.com, why doncha? We'll schmooze. Click on My Articles and look for one about Pattillo's dummybook and its journey to New York City...and alas, back home again a mere month or so later...but with a comlimentary Editor's Letter in tow in honor of his valiant exertions.

At www.gather.com, tea or coffee are optional...or as Abraham Lincoln is said to have said so amusingly: if this is tea, bring me coffee. If this is coffee, bring me tea.

Blue Tree Forest

Here is one of several drawings done since 2003 of various views of Blue Tree Forest. Is the moon hiding?

Here's an older, rather odd drawing for Secret Moon Art...what do you think?

Secret Moon Art goes LIVE at last!
