New illustration! For the cover of the December issue of the Magazine "Sonah". The Legendary Woman in the Moon (Frau im Mond)

 

The new illustration for the Magazine "Sonah" features the legendary figure of the "Woman in the Moon," portrayed at the spinning wheel, a character from German folklore once again inspired by the ancient gods. This continues the depiction of legendary figures such as Wodan/Odin, Donar/Thor, Holle/Erda, and others.

As always, I thank Frau Anika Meyer for giving me the opportunity to paint this subject. And of course, I LOVE winter landscapes!

New Christmas illustration: the old tradition of the Christmas log (Yule log). For Sonah Verlag

 

The ancient tradition of the yule log seems to date back as far as the 12th century. Spread from Scandinavia to the Alps, it involved the custom of burning a large log of wood in the fireplace of the house on Christmas Eve. And then to let it burn for the next 12 nights, until Epiphany.

This is the first of two illustrations for Christmas cards published by the publisher Sonah Verlag. Many thanks to Ms. Anika Meyer for entrusting me with these Christmas illustrations and for her precious Art Direction.
