My homage to the life and writing career of Brian Jacques, author of the Redwall series.

The painting itself was a bit of an experiment with gouache. Normally I would really go to town with watercolour and only use gouache for highlights but this time I used the gouache for a lot of the body colour. I felt it work well in the furniture but not so much on the stone work. You live and learn!

:( A wonderful art piece dedicated to an even more wonderful 'Teller of Tales'.

RIP Brian Jacques.

I love how busy this piece is, I enjoy looking at all the little books and bottles that you added. This is incredibly adorable and admirably well done. How much time did you devote to this?
