The Messenger
Piece 14 of the “33” illustrated art storybook by Meg Konovska
This is piece No 14 of the “33” watercolour series by Meg Konovska (*khu-khum*, that would be… ME!).
The series consists of 33 paintings, 33 x 33 cm each. They are all created in the following manner:
• Randomly make 33 dots on the blank sheet, with eyes closed
• Connect the dots in a complete contour, without intersecting lines
• The resulting silhouette is developed in a sketch which is completed in colour.
To top it off, each painting is accompanied by an explanation for the unsuspecting observer to consider.

The Messenger (available)
This is a Dwarf messenger kneeling with a rolled scroll of good news in hand in front of the royal recipient. That is why his face is showing undisguised pride.
It is well known that bringers of bad news can be stricken by the unfortunate doom of being decapitated. However, this Dwarf messenger is well aware that the news is good, for the Dwarf messaging services have also counselling functions. Dwarf messengers listen carefully to all potentially bothering announcements (qualified as bad news) and they find every seed of good that can completely turn the point of view, making possible for the message to be regarded as good news.
Due to their skills of seeing the hidden opportunity in each and every obstacle, the Dwarf messaging and counselling services enjoy the bliss of well deserved honour and respect.
