Laurel scroll for Mistress Mairi inspired by a page from the Visconti Hours. This piece was done in AS 39 but I have not had a picture of it until recently.This one gave me a bit of grief as figures have never been my strong point. I love painting drapery an clothing but it has always been faces and hands that would keep me up at night.
The red pen squiggles were a lot of fun and provied nice text filler.
I think I selected this piece because of the vast number of acorns depicted in the original page as Mistress Mairi is quite fond of them.
Watercolor gouache on bristol board. Windsor Newton calligraphy ink, speedball nib, gold leaf.
