Fire Fire!

Continuing with Golden Walker....

caution readers of the book! plot spoilers ahead...

The Visit

Misha in prison, so angry he is "lost"- changed to fire and can't remember how to change back.  Only the old nurse dares to go near the door.
A painting about two different states of mind...

Heart of Fire

Misha escapes, and becomes a raging fire outside the city.  Because he loves her and some part of him recognizes her, Nadia is able to escape the city and walk into the heart of the fire.
This painting is about trust, the ecstasy of being totally surrounded by love, and in the middle of a great big scary passion, finding that you are actually completely safe..

CAUTION: CAT PICTURE AHEAD

I would have made more paintings, but Hazel won't get off the art table.

new work

Summer is over and so is my holiday from this blog.  I took a holiday because it has been a writing summer, finishing up another section of Golden Walker and I simply had nothing left to say on the blog, after writing all day, there were no more words....  Oh well.  That is what summer is for, and now I have the fun of coming back with new enthusiasm...

So Melissa and I are still writing the end and we also have got some altruistic volunteers to read the thing and see if it possibly makes any sense to anyone.  (I already have a request for a map.)

Still doing the illustrations.  Here are some new ones.  (Catuion readers!  Plot spoilers ahead!)

Aya the Only

This painting is about the frenzy of loss.  Aya the Only, the mother of the seven brothers, knows they are gone.  She tears up her room and rips her feather bed, and reaches up into a mysterious and ghostly breeze that now is never absent from the house.

Salix Vs. Misha

This painting is about a clash of anger.  Each brother is trying to overpower the other.

Yeah, I'm not even going to get into the plot as to why.
I think it would just make you scratch your head and feel tired.

Til next time...
