I have recently been inspired by Katherine Dunn. I bought her book, "Creative Illustration Workshop" and have been blissfully reading through and taking in her wonderful primitive style art. The pages below were painted for my friend Patsy... she is a gorgeous, vivacious, fun loving friend and these pages seemed to flow so easily with her in mind.
"Peace Carriers" (inspired by Katherine Dunne and Haitian art).

The full page spread. 
A little blue bird of happiness, trailing along behind the Peace Carrier.
"Peace Keeper"I really love this naive style, both in my painting and my stitching...I am having fun with it! Jude and Judy have showed me the way with cloth and Katherine and Lynne have showed me the way with paint.
And....there has also been a little stitching. Not much... but a bit. I am working on Christmas gifties (as usual I am running a little late), cant show them yet.
Over the weekend I went to my friend Nats art exhibition opening....wonderful day... pop over to Nats blog to see photos from the day. Lots of indigo and cloth, wonderful basketmaking and bookmaking....
MOST OF ALL,
LOVE YOURSELF.

Sending love and colour.

Wow. These are so beautiful.
Colourful, vibrant, rich.
The Peace Carrier full page spread and the Peace Keeper are fantastic.
They communicate your positive spirit so well.
Wow! So much colour and beauty <3
These are lovely, I struggle to even manage naive drawing/painting & I'm trying to find a bird shape that's 'mine' I'll keep looking!
Gouache on a dark ground, isn't that a wonderful technique and material? I love the results! The stitching, too! And with that spotlight method in your pictures, you make me feel like a burglar in your flat who discovers the things with a flashlight in his hand.
Your paintings are absolutely marvelous! Love them...so inspiring...now I need to get that book too! Thanks for sharing all the wonderful art!
