Bizarre but cleverly put together as usual Lew! Could be one for the November Forum challenge?

Simply brilliant, I don’t know how you think them up Lew, but please keep them coming.

Love all the shapes, colours and variety of creatures.

You don’t know why you chose. Well there’s a big pink toadstool in the centre might give you a clue lewis. Like this, you bring your subjects to life.

Fabulous Lewis - is John suggesting the influence of a magic mushroom feeding your imagination Lewis?

Great storyline and illustration.

Thanks again for your comments. What I meant by 'don't know why I did this' was 'why' a snail race? I'm often using snails in my pics (??). We're influenced by things going on around us...John recently posted a painting with a snail, the November challenge is mushrooms...so all these things lurk in your mind. So, something emerges...but maybe I'll try some magic mushrooms as well.

Just love your fantasy stuff, Lewis, always makes me smile! (Look forward to seeing one of magic mushrooms!)

It doesn’t matter what you choose to do Lewis, once it comes out of your head, it comes alive!

What an imagination you have Lewis! Always love seeing your work here and now I guess you're thinking about magic mushrooms :)
