“All growth is a leap in the dark, a spontaneous unpremeditated act without the benefit of experience.”

Lost – 4″ x 6″ Prismacolor .05 Fine Art Marker on Indian Village Handmade Postcard

Lost is the word for Illustration Friday this week. Can you see the cat and the bearded dragon that are lost in this forest? I painted this from two different photos by Mginsberg at WetCanvas.
There’s a very good chance that you’ll see this one again…. in vivid color. 
About Henry Miller
The bohemian American novelist Henry Miller is best known for his sexually daring autobiographical novels, Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn, and for his love affair with benefactor Anaïs Nin. He was born in 1891 in New York. His writing blossomed after he moved to Paris in 1930 but was banned in the United States for its erotic content. Miller eventually won the right to publish in the U.S., becoming an icon of the sexual revolution. He died in 1980 in California.

Thanks so much, Allison! That hardly ever happens to my posts. Love it!
This was totally fun! I fnd the cat and it took forever to find the dragon! Love all the lines and, like Carol, I can’t wait to see it in color, Beth.
I found them, so cute! Beautiful job with all the leaves and fronds and maybe some bamboo? Great job with the marker!
Fantastic detailing Beth!!! I love how the cat and dragon are so well hidden. Looking forward to seeing it colored in Bethville!!! ~Sophia
I really like the detail with your fine marker in your jungle like drawing. I really would get lost in that. I can’t wait to see it in color.
