I’ve nearly finished my latest painting. It needs a few minor changes and then just framing. It’s called “The Blind Lizard”, an homage to Millias’s classic painting “The Blind Girl“. In it, all the animals marvel in glee at the spectacle and beauty of the double rainbow, with the exception of the blind lizard who can’t see the rainbows. She can however experience the beauty of the sensation of simply being alive; the feeling of the fresh air after the rain, the sun on her face, and the sounds and sensations around her.

One can always find the beauty in life by focusing on the simple pleasures. “Well done Shannon”. (When do you sleep? All that you do!!)
my favourite is the dots on the blind lizard’s robe, they look so 3d.
and your shirt :)
Beautiful. I was thinking about being blind last night as I was walking under the stars. My brother is blind. I hope you create a children’s book. You are very talented. Use your talents for good and not bad, for construction, not destruction.
Reminds me of a book I had as a child, called Kartusch, a blind green snake who teaches these imaginary little “fluffs” about observing the beauty around you through olfactory sense other than sight.
I want a tattoo of Kartusch.
Shannon, sometimes you make my heart ache.
All rainbows are double rainbows to me. ;)
I love your art, but I think I also love your lion shirt!
That’s beautiful!

I am a fan of the dang lion shirt too, ha ha.
But yes, the painting…an amazing, beautiful, and unique interpretation.
That’s really cute!
Beautiful !!!
Any chance you’ll be selling this, or you’d do one similar for commission? :D
I’ve already committed this piece for sale, but yes, I do sell paintings these days…

awesome picture. You should have some auctions on here or something, i would love to have one of your paintings in my house.
you rock man, bring back zentastic!
Not only am I digging the painting, but I’m also digging your t-shirt! VIVA THREADLESS!
Hey Shannon, have you ever done a fuck you drawing at a woman you were angry with?
If so, I would like to see it. Because I am angry with a clergy man and I am about to turn one of my photographs and another one of my drawings into a fuck you drawing.
I’m loving the shirt and chops contrast – are you a Leo by any chance? ;)
pretty paintings you do :)
I paint alot when I was in high school.
I LOVE that painting! It’s so colorful!
do you texture the canvas before painting, or it that just your style (stippling, maybe)?
i’m jealous of the lizards and their seemingly unending supply of crunchberries.
I love your style of work, the paintings are all so colorful and alive! :)
beautiful Shannon;)
1: Your chops are incredible.
2: Sweet threadless shirt!
Hehehehe, you resemble the lion in your t-shirt!
Shannon,
I know that I would definitely be interested in the art that you have for sale maybe you could post or email a couple of pics?
Those are really cute!
It’s beautiful Shannon,
I’m enjoying the whimsical nature of your style these days.
While I do love the blind woman painting, particularly with it’s new frame, I have to say that the green painting, below, is my favourite. Of all time. Love, love, love it. ;)
that is one great t-shirt…
