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.

Pink Fairy armadillo



This little Pink Fairy is being spied upon from behind the tree by Pattillo Armadillo for Pattillo has never seen such a critter before...even though they must be cousins!

Do you have any 'mystery cousins' you've never seen the likes of before?

Under the 'Shroom Home Snooze



Here's Pattillo Armadillo snoozing underneath a 'Shroom Home while on his hero's journey...as told in, Pattillo Armadillo and the Dream of Green. This drawing was a reject from his 'dummybook' but he looks pretty snugged in, don't you think?

Only the zzz-z-z-z-zs are missing!

'Shroom Home by the Lake



This drawing of a 'shroom home is a reject from my first-ever childrens book--or the dummybook actually--called, Silvery Tree Path...just so you know.

Looks cozy if you're elfin-sized or of the fairy persuasion.

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.
