View post →The Tea Cup ride at Disney World is one of my favorites to watch. People aren’t always sure what’s going to happen to them on the ride. So its a lot of fun to watch peoples’ reactions to the intense swirling! I can’t walk straight when I get off the ride! Fun! Margaret Hurst

A quick drawing of a few lotus flowers at  the China Pavilion at Epcot. The petals of the lotus flower symbolize the expansion of the soul. I like that. Maybe its the way the lotus flower stands so beautifully tall and sensitive in the water. I don’t really know what the attraction is for me, […]
View post →This hippo was so sweet. She was patiently waiting under water for her friends the fish to give her a cleaning by nibbling on her thick skin. I loved the way she would shut her eyes tight. ~Despina

When that prayer is answered, the person puts a bell on the tree. The sound of the bells tinkling represents all the answered […]

View post →A drawing/watercolor I made for a book I wanted to illustrate, Anansi Stories. The Anansi myth is from Africa. Basically Anansi is a trouble maker. He is mainly represented as a spider, but I thought it might be fun to make him human. In this picture/drawing Anansi is collecting up all the common sense in […]
