my colouring book

i'm gonna tell you a secret. wheter i'm looking for inspiration or an outer world experience i gaze at alanna marohnics art. i found her web site some three years ago and once that narnian door opened i can't go back. perhaps i love her art so much because of the organic forms and bright colours found in art nouveau. since i've let you in on my secret i hope you'll find yourself absorbed in her series of watercolour dreams.

i'll be going to turku (finland) tomorrow and while there hopefully be visiting the about the childhood exhibition held there this fall.
