BOOK ILLU COLLAGE PROJECT_4

 

journal entry:

How about more?

I asked George what he was doing? He asked me why I couldn’t tell. I admitted that I hadn’t been looking closely enough. Then I made amends by saying that “George is a robber ! “

Squint your eyes and quit looking at George and look BEYOND him.

What is going to happen to his hand?

BOOK ILLU FANTASY

I thought of a child who is now grown-up when I found this illustration.

Someone I know well who has always loved the outdoors.

Someone who knows all about leaves and trees and rocks and animals and fish and science.

Look closely.

There is much to see and every detail reminds me

of the days when my children were carefree

and saw magic in everything.

GRAND BOOK TALMAGE8

To this photograph I added some words with spiritual meaning and powerful clues in both images.

I know what I see and I know what is meant.

“Each one sees what he carries in his heart.”

-Goethe-
