the lorax

A couple days ago we went to see The Lorax movie,an adaptation of Seuss's book The Lorax. I thought it was quite good and the whole audience laughed many many timed throughout.the movie actually has a fairly good website at http://www.theloraxmovie.com/index.php#/truffula . Since the story is so environmentally minded, the Lorax project is doing cool things in the real world! check it out here http://www.seussville.com/loraxproject/ Or go to http://clubjeb.blogspot.com/p/jeb-eco-projects.html or the J.E.B. site's homepage, http://clubjeb.blogspot.com/, to hear me go on and on and on about the movie,how it will help people to raise environmental awareness, and so on (and on and on)I really loved how a beloved old story that I had read (and been read to) came to life on the big screen. One thing I definitly did not expect it to be- a musical. That was very unexpected! It inspired me to paint this pastel-watercolor resist painting of some candy-hues Truffala trees- because "truffula trees are what everyone needs", after all.







completely unrelated: this is an easter painting i made recently
