Gaia, Earth Mother

To

Above is the finished inside painting in Gaia, and here is the sketch.

Cinamon, the cat checking out the progress of Gaia as the ribs are being glued on.
Phil, for whom the cello is intended and George, the cat who has made a temporary bed inside the ribs.
The photos coming up will show Gaia, a cello in various stages of development. Here you can see the back of the scroll which is adorned with leaves and flowers twined among the strands of Gaia's long hair.
