I don’t know if this is a jungle, exactly, but it’s certainly full of tree-dwellers! It’s part of a fairly large painting commissioned for a young child’s room.

This is fantastic! That is one lucky kid to have your beautiful painting on their wall!
Are you familiar with the work of the Russian illustrator Boris Artzybasheff? Your work reminds me of his. He was amazing!
Thanks so much, Heidi! I do know Artzybasheff, & I’m flattered! :-)
I became familiar with his work real fast when I unknowingly bought an original illustration of his at a garage sale for a couple of dollars. It was of a family on Venus and was an ad for a power tool company.
Sadly I had to sell it some years later… made $7000 on it though!
Oh my heavens, what a find! And a sad loss (though not financially at least)!
Did they ever reissue that super rare Artzybasheff book? I have a zeroxed copy at least that I made from an original in the 80s.
