Resurgence of Art

2/20/2022

Yes, it seems that it has been tough to really keep anything as we tromp through the pandemic, but here we are.  My plan is that I'm just gonna throw down some good stuff I've been doing and fill in things later.  All work is based on an exemplar.  When I have had the brain space to pull and upload the research, I certainly will.   Hopefully.

One of the tough things is that I have been struggling throughout the pandemic to do anything creative.  I have found others are in similar spots.  My art went a little backward and I'm trying to bring it around again and increase my abilities.  Without practice my art muscles atrophied.  This is not an excuse, just an acknowledgement that I am in a different place than I was two years ago.  I'm still working on improving my calligraphy and often farm it out to my gifted calligrapher friends.   I'm also my harshest critic.  I love that the art that I have been able to do because it feeds me, and it is a new beginning.

So to new beginnings.

First up - Maunche for Joannes von Braunsthweig given a short time ago and is in the hands of the recipient.  Formal date of presentation is March 5, 2022.   I loved the happy, little swirls and detailing.

Next up.  Golden Rapier for Wentlyanna Bengrek, a very good friend and comrade in arms, given out at Bhakail Yule in December of 2021.  I found a rapier manual that showed several poses and that looked all the world to me like our modern melee tactics and put Wentlyanna front and center.  I had to put clothes on them first because, well, it was Agrippa and Agrippa is a clothing optional manual.   I really wanted to have a nice portrait of Wentlyanna and was able to find a picture of her that looked so lovely and I was quite pleased with how it came out.  I used white goauche, grey goauche which I thinned a little to capture the shading of the face.  I used pen and ink for the rest of the scroll.

In  late 2021, I did a Silver Crescent for Alexandre L'Espangnol de Orleanz which had to chase him for a while.   It was supposed to go out at Crown in November, but didn't catch up to him until Bhakail Yule in December, of 2021.

    My avocation is artist.  This is where I leave art, the process of art and my discoveries.
