Rose Window Landscape Print

This began as a drawing of a medieval ivory carving representing the 'War of Love' I found in a Florentine museum. The circle prompted an inside/outside variation in my imaginary sky. The original gargoyles were the same in the ivory carving, so I updated and changed them as they went around. I hope to do another work that better celebrates the idea of a war of love, one where knights attack a castle with flowers instead of weapons, and their ladies encourage this better chivalry. I hope the viewer will like the whimsical imagery I improvised in front of dramatic clouds and changing seashore. Oil on canvas is the most versatile media for the layered transparent effects I so enjoy.
