Cawthorn Library Attacks! Or, what I feel like when the deadlines start coming at me too fast. One more done for Hit Point Press, Big Bads: Most Wanted RPG book, AD: Brian Walters

I painted the illustration traditionally in watercolor and the original painting is available.

I promise my librarian friends I LOVE books and would never do this to them- unless, of course, the library is possessed by an evil entity.

“Ghost Librarian” and “Thirst for Knowledge” for Hit Point Press. If you think you see a bit of an 80s pop culture homage here, yes you do 😉 The originals are watercolor on paper.

I don’t do a lot of dragons, but over the years I’ve gotten a lot of requests for one of my jack-o-lanterns with a dragon so I’m finally giving it a shot! When I’m done, this will be a watercolor in an oval frame, and probably a pin design.

I’ve been working on “The Lovers” when in the flat here in Cornwall. I think it’s done, but I’ll give it another look over when I get home. I planned this composition to maybe crop the painting into a large oval frame, but not so sure I want to now. Ravens, Glastonbury abbey, and may blossoms.

Plein air watercolor of the Cot Valley and Porth Nanven. The turquoise water near the shore at this spot is magical. It appears and disappears depending on how the sun shifts.
