Lothlórien - watercolour and acryla gouache on paper I wish I had time to get back to my Tolkien series, these are so much fun. 💙 Prints on saIe for a bit longer! 💙

The tree city of Lothlórien, home of the elves. A spiral staircase winds up a giant tree with golden leaves, buildings hanging from its brances like ornaments. At the top of the image, the fellowship greets Galadriel and Celeborn. At the bottom of the image we see Frodo peering into the basin with Galadriel.

All aboard! It’s #KidLitArtPostcard Day, and these good boys and girls are off to school! When I was a kid, dogs would sometimes crash recess, causing chaos. Maybe today’s lesson is ‘How to Cause the Best Kind of Mayhem’! What’s on their school schedule? 🐕✨

The Latin princess Lavinia was made the object of a war between Trojan refugees, lead by Aeneas, and those loyal to the Rutulian king Turnus. A skilled priestess in her own right, Lavinia maintained a special relationship with the gods of her homeland. #Aeneid #Romanmythology #inkdrawing #tradart
