Chinese Whispers

When we played Chinese Whispers as children, I was a very serious participant. I listened well, letting a little bit of distraction wash over me, so that maybe I would mis- hear the phrase, and say something different to the next person.  And it would irk me out when players distorted the words on purpose just to make it funny. The idea is to see what comes out of genuine mistakes. And I couldn't laugh at fake ones, so I stopped playing. But when Illustrationfriday.com's topic was 'Whisper',  those childhood games would not leave my memory. Here is Chinese Whispers. Digital.

Elizabeth Bennet

My love for Jane Austen and classics with female heroines, or anti-heroines or real life good and bad ladies with captivating stories has inspired me to take up painting again. Here is Eliza Bennet in a meadow. Acrylics.

Halloween in February

This is an early Halloween illustration. I call it the Endangered scare:) Kids wearing endangered animal costumes for T-O-T-ing. How cool would that be?
