Hi & Hello
initially a pencil drawing which has been coloured in Photoshop, I attempted an olde world map look for the background to make the image look ‘well travelled’ and i hope you like the warm saturated colours and the girl’s pose which means Namaste (nah-MUS-stay) – hello in Hindi. For more informations see Wikepedia for definition of Namaste

It’s a joy and privilege to create little offerings to share, a taste of nostalgia, a little warmth for the heart in a moment of reflection. I enjoy illustrating for children and the inner child.
