During the month of May the librarian at the Imp’s school teaches about the Middle Ages and I offered to help out, in light of the fact that I have armor and various other Medieval fun stuff in the house.  I made this scroll for one of the days I’ll be speaking.  The ink is sadly a very non-period blue, but I couldn’t find a drop of black ink anywhere in the house and didn’t have the time or desire to mix up a batch old school style.  Otherwise I’m fairly happy with the results, working on this piece reminded me of why I enjoy painting so much.  Maybe I’ll illuminate Solstice cards this year…
