Description

Hi everyone, This went through a number of iterations over the 6 weeks or so that it took to complete – I began with the idea of an ancient dryad presiding over some kind of wedding ceremony, and it evolved into a concept based around birth and parenthood. This dryad is nurturing her own young sapling in the gloaming. The image is about 11500 x 6500 – the biggest I’ve ever done, and was created that large so I can print it off as a mural for my daughter, about 3 metres wide. You can’t see it at this resolution, but the glade is teeming with life – beavers, a fox, wild boar, a stag, a faun, fish, frogs etc – all things she can pick out when this is printed at full resolution. I’ll probably add more as time goes by but I wanted to call this ‘finished’ for now. It was created using my usual technique of combining painting and photography (all my own bar the girl and some stock creatures) - and ended up being built from scratch to about 200 layers, rock by rock and tree by tree ;) It took a long time! Thanks a million for looking and take care, Phil

I did some image in fall 2006 that we printed out on a plotter at 8'x8'. One is on my wall behind the dinner table. an idealized image of Constantinople... Your image is so much better than what I have... I can't imagine how gorgeous that will be at 3mx3m... Awesome work!
