Thomas the Rhymer and Queen of Elfland beneath the Eildon Tree - sacred hawthorne for the fairies.

He wandered the hills of Ercildoun one evening, when he was come upon by the Queen of Elfland. He kissed her, and the price of that kiss was to be borne away with her from Middle Earth and the mortal realms. For seven years, he stayed in Elfland before being returned to the world, gifted thenceforth with Truth.

*

A hundred years I slept beneath a thorn,
Until the tree was root and branches of my thought,
Until white petals blossomed in my crown.
--- Kathleen Raine "The Traveler"

The evening colors are perfect here... beautiful work!

You know, I really love your tarot pieces, but now that you're done, it's nice to see you spread your wings again with more varied pieces and new themes. :)

I'll never get over the sheer emotion I feel when looking at your paintings. The subjects you paint, the colors, the almost ethereal glow the watercolors seem to give the pieces, it's amazing. It really feels like I'm looking into another world, and not just at a picture.
