A beautiful scene of the Caring Looking Lady and also the Polar Bears looking caring as human and animals help find the way. The Stars look magnificent.

Yes and that definitely comes through in your paintings! I like to see people use colour in a different way to me, I use it sparingly.

Sometimes a monochromatic painting has more color than a regular painting! Especially in the hands of an artist from the golden age of illustration. Those guys (and gals) could paint!

Yeah I guess, I have never really looked at it like that before! I Studied art, but mainly Illustration, I am assuming that 'The Golden age of Illustration' was in the 1920's? I am not sure?

This reminds me of The Golden Compass. I never got around to reading the other two, but I really should.
