Winter is coming

October 13th, 2012

A watercolour I did a million years ago at school; a homage to The Great Wave off Kanagawa by Hokusai

Probably my one and only ever attempt at engraving. I can't be trusted with sharp objects.

I was listening to The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Coleridge’s classic poem of a cursed sea voyage, being read on BBC Radio 4 extra. It put me in mind of stormy seas (naturally) and the rainy winter nights that are coming our way soon. Sad times. Also reminded me of an ancient painting and engraving I did.
