Funky Medieval Village

This past weekend I was at an art retreat (the first one I've been to in the past year and a half).  I didn't finish any new work to post but I was asked about my "Funky Medieval Village" series, so I'm posting that.  They are all 6" x 12" on canvas.  The first one is called "Beginning", as it is the first one I did and I think it's pretty poor.

 "King David" is the next one and I like it.

This one is "Bird in a Gilded Cage" with a smattering of real gold leaf.  There are a couple more but I will put them in a separate post.

This is an  illumination from the DeCosta Hours that I want to share with someone.  The blog has been totally inactive because I had a house fire in October 2012.  Almost all my artwork was burned and I haven't been doing anything new.
