We are in the midst of moving, packing things up and throwing things out and we discovered the original art work for “Dreams of India” by Alan Okamoto. Alan isn’t with us anymore, he passed on some years ago, but he left behind some really neat illustrations for Ruby and Jack.

This illustration captures the spirit of Jack’s mysterious adventures in South India. As you can see, Jack is standing in the moonlight, eyeing an abandoned summer palace the locals believe its haunted.

What is a little strange about this illustration, if you place it in the shadows, it appears to glow as though lit by the moon. It’s the way Alan has captured the light, he’s turned the night into moonlight.

The illustration is 13 3/8th X 11 1/8th.

It is a lovely illustration.
