    Yes…balloons are fun, precisely because they’re multicolored. Black balloons would be quite dull πŸ™‚

    This reminds me of jellyfish in the sea somehow! but then they are sort of balloony in shape too aren’t they? thanks for your nice comment on my blog. While i did actually like doing original designs for the baby clothes company, unfortunately they prefer you to copy from artwork on clothes from other countries! I didn’t write it on my blog as I didn’t want to cause trouble, but is common in that industry that is why i chose not to work for them.

    “release the fun” what a wonderful sentiment. Lovely balloons.

    Girl, where have I been??? Looks like you’ve had this for a while, but I feel like I’ve visited you every week so how could I have missed this? So sorry if I fell behind πŸ™

    I love the balloon illo and your wonderful thoughts! You always have the nicest, most heartfelt things to say.

    oh, my, your work is so lovely and so unusual… it looks, in some ways, ancient… and, yet, also timeless.

    Namaste, Indigene,
    Maybe it is the Asian touch your paintings-subjects and the style-have, it was easy enough for me to connect with your works(or so do I think). ‘Gabriel’s horn’ is a really good one.
    Hats off to you!
