It is said that to be touched by the moon's rays in slumber is to court lunacy. I look up at the moon on a still night, and feel that spiderweb trailing of silver light across my face. No heat like the caress of the sun. No sign of that ghostly trailing of light except what my imagination fills. A peace steals across the room, the stillness of meditation, of delving down within.

I wish I had found this during the supermoon on January 9, 2012. I love to sit under the full moon. The "stillness of meditation," ah, there is no other. You are incredibly talented and it is a pleasure to have discovered your work.

beautifully painted dream quality. The masks hanging from the tree makes me want to know the story of the dream. The way you pulled the moon beams over the tree is fantastic. I would like to see the main figure's detail better. What is the halo surrounding her head?

This is really lovely. I've admired your watercolor work for a long time, and saw your tarot deck in a book store recently. I'm a watercolor artist in progress, and I'll be reading your blog, as I'm certain there are plenty of ti[s and treasures in there I can put to good use. Keep up the beautiful work.

This is great, I love the color palette! Love the masques too!
I was wondering, how is it that you make the background? because some parts look like you've just splashed some droplets of water randomly.. a nice effect. Any tips?
