I have done some more work on the illustration for the cover of the children’s book. But have I gone too far? I have finished the rough outlines. I took your suggestions and instead of the dark ink outlines, I went for more pastel, watercolor shades. Here is what it looks like now…
Which is a long way from where it started…
I will get back to you after I have cleaned up some more of the paint seepage and details, and we will see what you think. Because art can drive me crazy. There are always unlimited directions to go with it.
Pouring My Art Out 
I like this newest version better, but it still feels like something is missing.
I get it.
where’s the damn monkeys ?
Oh, I got your monkeys hangin’… HA!
😀
The tree on the left must be a male…
Get your mind out of the gutter and back in the jungle.
Ooohhh… jungles have lots of possibilities…
Welcome to the jungle…
Soooo many possibilities. All the vines and trees to um… hang from orbetiedto…
Take a deep breath…
Yep. That’s happening repetitively…
Then you must make people nervous when you phone them… ha!
Ohh… why is that?
Deep breathing… never mind.
Haha! You’re fun 🙂 and funny. But I will always be one step ahead..
Yes… so I can keep my eye on you…
I’m taking that as a compliment. Hey!! My eyes are up here!!!
YOU HAVE EYES???
Yes. They change colors with my moods.
Hey… so do mine…
Really? That’s very unusual, you know. So… you must have the gift then…
I got a few gifts. The changes might be more about light and colors around me than mood.
Hmm. Interesting. Have you ever felt like you can… make things happen? I don’t know quite how to word this… it’s very difficult to explain, especially to people who have never experienced it…
I know exactly what you mean…
Seriously? You do?
Seriously I do. I have a few other weird gifts I will have to tell you about sometime.
Wow. I do as well. We need to have an actual serious conversation.
We could.
Would you like my email? I would rather keep the other 1, 233 followers out of this one…
ok, but I might be overstating my case… These aren’t gifts that are useful in real life… more like… I can’t even explain it.
ok… here it is..

I can’t look at that… and you are just someone again.
I don’t know who this is because it just says ‘someone’… and I need to go to bed… long day… I will solve this mystery tomorrow.
drive you crazy?
I thought you… oh, never mind.
😉
wait… are you psychic or did I already say that???
Um, neither.
But I did sleep at a Whatchmacallit Inn last night.
Right.
Left?
Dead center.
Monkey?
where?
EVERYWHERE!!!!

I really like the revised one.
It is looking cooler and cooler.
