For the Enchanted Artists Show Arthurian Legends coming soon at

This is not the final scan, but only a photograph of the piece. It is being drum scanned due to its size. Forgive the blurry spots, a photographer I am NOT! LOL!!!

Medium: Watercolor
Size of Piece: 24" by 19"
Inspiration:
The legend of Arthur is much older than the period this piece is loosely modeled after.
Great debate over exactly where Arthur came from and what he did in his time, is still entertained to this very day.
In the French chivalric romances and their successors,
the tale of Arthur becomes more than just a story of a great leader.
Treachery most foul is mixed into the tale giving it that melodramatic feel of the great romances of that age.
All though not really true to the tales, I have chosen to portray the perfidy of Lancelot and Guinevere,
inspired by those torrid French chivalric romances.
In this piece Lancelot and Guinevere try to sneak out the back gate of Camelot,
were they are caught by Arthur.

Atlantis - After the Fall

This is my first mermaid,slash, under water piece.
I had originally intended it to be my Atlantis piece
for the show, but I didn't feel it
captured my vision of Atlantis as a living breathing culture,
before its destruction.
So I had placed this piece to the side. This week I found the time to finish it.
It is alright, and I am in no danger of sending it to the incinerator..lol..
but it could be lots better to my eyes. I think I learned a bit about doing mermaids, and am looking forward to doing more of them in the future.
I also think I need some practice doing marine life, I feel the dophins look kinda flat, and my imaginary fish aren't quite believable.
This isn't a very good picture, took it quickly with my digital, because it is a large piece, and will have to be scanned in pieces.
For some reason the pinks in her tail, and back fins came out red in the photo.
