This was a practice piece done in Watercolour and Gouache. I intended to do a much larger painting in Acrylic. However someone said I had made the Knight look like a girl and the horses like donkeys I have scanned it after discovering it languishing under a pile marked 'duds'. Tweaked the colours in Photoshop and posted it, warts and all.
True, it is a little rough around the edges but it makes it look all the more like a Medieval tapestry. Things were always slightly skewed in that stylized form. I love it, warts and all, as you said.

Definitely not a dud. This is fantastic, Pat. It very much resembles the art that I love so much like Waterhouse and the like. Very nice. I can see a story here and could sit for hours trying to figure it out and imagine myself there.
this is a winner... the horses look like horses and the knight looks like a male... or a manly woman.

Best dud Ive ever seen. it really looks like it could be an illustration in a book and I agree it would look awesome woven as a tapestry. There is more to art than every spec acurate! Thats the style of thats era!
When did it suddenly become cool to hate everything? It's a growing problem, especially in the entertainment world, and no one benefits from an increasingly hard to please, pessimistic audience.
A Special Collection of photographs i found this month that still haunts my mind. Show them some love There are always some i can`t include due to space, i try to make the features under 50 deviations to give them better exposure
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article.
In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
