Selkies, from my book Seas Of Strangehollow, the third in my Strangehollow world. You can find the books here: buff.ly/7krkipG #selkies #mermaid #merfolk #folklore #fairytales #artbook

Unlike mermaids, which you will also find in both western and southern
seas, selkies prefer the cold waters of the kelp forests of the west. There
are no white sandy beaches here, just a coastline dotted with rocks, cliffs
and occasional dark sand beaches. The ocean is deeper here, and where
the kelp forests end there is an underwater cliff edge which gives way to
unfathomable depths. Great beasts loom in the deep, creatures from
stories which chill the blood in your veins.
The selkies of Strangehollow are not shapeshifters like those you may
have read about in old folk tales. They are not dissimilar to mermaids in
that their upper bodies, down to their hips, are...

'So Olwen Came' 2016 watercolour on paper. (see ALT for the text from the fairytale, The Wooing Of Olwen', that inspired this painting. I am dying to return to this again and paint with the skills I've acquired over the past 10 yrs! #throwbackthursday #olwen #fairytale #welshfairytale #cottagecore

"Clothed in a robe of flame-coloured silk, and with a collar of ruddy cold, in which were emeralds and rubies about her neck. more golden was her hair than the flower of the broom, and her skin was whiter than the foam of the wave, and fairer were her hands and fingers than the blossoms of the wood anemone amidst the spray of the meadow fountain. Brighter were her glances than those of a falcon; her bosom was more snowy than the breast of the white swan, her cheek redder than the reddest roses. Whoso beheld was filled with love. Four white trefoils sprang up wherever she trod. And therefore she was called Owen."

Whenever I see a cartoon starring animal characters and they have a Christmas episode I always wonder “wait… so is this celebrating human Jesus or do they have like their own raccoon Jesus?” And if it’s the former, why aren’t there any humans in the show?

The Pestiferous Tree Grub, (excerpt in ALT) which you'll find in my Seas Of Strangehollow book here: buff.ly/vek4jkA #creatureart #humorouscreature #monster #fantasyart #folklore

Deep in Strangehollow’s southern lands, the weather is gloriously warm
and balmy. The climate is humid; however, due to the offshore breezes it
is generally never warmer than thirty degrees centigrade. The creatures
that live there thrive in the humidity. The rich coastal waters and jungle
teem with life.
The pestiferous tree grub is about a foot long and is a tree-dwelling
opportunistic predator. Nocturnal in habit, they will be found on most of
the little islands and in the tropical jungles along the coastline. Whilst
their diet consists largely of small amphibians, fairies and any other small
creatures it finds, it has also been known to fell much larger beasts, if said
beast is unfortunate enough to brush against them as they dangle from branches.
The grub has six bright yellow-orange eyes which give it an almost
comical appearance and could, of course, fool an inexperienced traveller.
They have long prehensile tails and ten chubby legs with sticky feet
which help them move about in the treetops with great ease.
The secretions that exude from their fleshy bodies are greatly sought
after by hunters. For situations where their weapons are not quite
adequate to fell a mighty beast on its own, the added poison on their
harpoons can subdue or kill some of the largest creatures from the deep.

The Silver Lizard of Helelot. (Excerpt in Alt) From my book Savage Strangehollow, fourth in the series. This is one of my favourite paintings from the book which you can find here: buff.ly/vek4jkA #dragon #lizard #wyrm #fantasyart #folklore #artbook

Excerpt from the book:
Some areas of Strangehollow are very close to human civilisation. There is a wood, far to the east, right on the outskirts of the great forest, known as Helelot Woods. There is a small tavern nearby which serves the infrequent travellers to the region, hopeful adventurers, most of whom never make the return journey.
Helelot woods is an enchanted place, brimming with wildlife, common fairies lighting up the undergrowth at dusk like tiny lanterns, and a pale, slithering serpent waiting in the boughs of the ancient trees. For those who dare to enter Strangehollow from the east, Helelot Woods is a deceptively simple place to begin.
The tavern owner, Ageon, a man of indiscernable age, displays the glittering skin of this beast at the entrance to the woods. He warns every guest, each questing fool about this loathesome beast, but none listen.
Even the glittering sixty foot long epidermis of the creature displayed outside the tavern fails to deter them.

Description of image: watercolour painting of a pale serpent/lizard sliding out of a large ancient tree in a purply blue light.
There are glowing orbs of light floating in the air, tiny common fairies that live in Strangheollow.

If you could live anywhere, fairytale or real, where would it be? A castle in the clouds? A cosy home inside an ancient tree? A gorgeous little bolthole deep in the forest? Which would it be? #dreamhome #magicaldwellings #watercolour #hobbitcore #cottagecore #fantasyhome

What’s your favorite wholesome meme?

A small hedgehog with brown and white quills and a white fuzzy belly and brown fuzzy face is being held on his back. He has his right front paw held across his belly and his left front paw raised as if to cheer. The text reads “I am a tiny hedgehog and I believe in you. You can do the thing.”
