Mistletoe sunset

Just been back to Vienna for a few days. In autumn and winter the mistletoe is so obvious silhouetted amongst the stark branches. It looks like baubles, or big round birds nests. This watercolour is looking across the Alte Donau as the sun sets.

High altitude rainforest illustration, in progress

Work in progress. The illustration is to show the rare indri, the largest lemurs in Madagascar, in their mountain rainforest. They look like giant black and white teddy bears with crazy green saucer eyes. Every morning indri families get together and sing. This sounds charming but in fact their singing is more like a siren, and the sound travels for miles.
The illustration will be used on the sixth and final poster for the Ako Project environmental conservation campaign, http://www.lemurreserve.org/akoproject.html. The posters are used in schools all over Madagascar.
I'll update this post as the illustration progresses.
