Scroll for Aliskye - detail of miniature painting

Description

My friend Aliskye long ago asked me for a scroll in the style of Flemish miniature painter Simon Bening (1483–1561). Though it took me eight years, I'm very pleased that she has happily received it. It is the most detailed landscape I've done to date.

While working on it, I had plenty of time to meditate on the story. Visible here is the moment when Baroness Aliskye first spots her cottage by the sea as she returns via riverboat. The landscape is inspired both by Benning's landscapes as well as the SCA Barony of Lyondemere (Santa Monica Bay in Los Angeles County, California)

Size: 4"x6". Tools used: Winsor Newton gouache, Sumi Gold. Time spent: hours and hours...

By Lachlan of Cromarty. This image may not be used without permission of the artist and owner.
