Mokanna Tapestries

This is a simple design from a watercolor painting I did of the Grotto Mokanna. If one looks closely, a slight grin is detected on this Mokanna's face. The Grotto is known for a being a fun organization with a great philanthropy so I thought a softer look on the Mokanna's face, but still one of dignity, was warranted.

I got a communication from a fellow Grotto member from Zelmar Grotto in Tennessee. In it he asked if I'd use my original watercolor version illustration of the Grotto Mokanna and make a design for Zelmar use. His wish was my command. :-)

This is my watercolor version of an emblem used by a fraternal group called The Grotto. The Grotto is known for being a fun bunch of guys who wear black fezzes and are devoted to philanthropy.

A funny comment by the wearer of this design of his attractiveness as he escorts his Lady. The inclusion of the Grotto Mokanna makes this design specifically for a member of a fraternal organization known for for good humor, fellowship and fun.
