Watercolors

Here are three watercolor-based illustrations from the last year or so. The first is watercolor and mixed media on watercolor paper, entitled "Mother of Compassion." Special activity for you kids out there: locate and identify ten religious symbols and win a theology decoder ring!


The second is a portrait of Alyosha from The Brothers Karamazov, fresh from the monastery. Surrounding him is a chotki, similar to a rosary or mala.

The third is an illustration from Hansel and Gretel, painted during breaks from reimagining the classic fairy tale for a creative writing class. This illustration, "Gingerbread," is based more on the classic children's version than my own retelling, which came out rather scary. And that's all for now!
