Inspiration:
Originally I painted part of this image for a Earth Day parade
event poster a few years back. The painting was designed as a
illustration (including the text graphics) and wasn't a
stand-alone painting. I re-did the image, bringing in more
animals and plants. I sprinkled the entire painting with dabs
of 22kt. gold leaf. It's happy, fun and let's hope it reminds
people to enjoy nature -- reduce, reuse and recycle!
