Summer has definitely arrived here, and the heat is already making itself felt in mid-June. A couple of summer subjects, taken from "Sorcery: Contested Realm"

 

One of the landscapes I enjoyed painting the most: the English village in summer, surrounded by wheat fields.

Always for Sorcery, the workers in the fields. Thanks to Erik who had the idea to render the labor of the workers under the light of a summer sunset.

A small detail: a blue tit escaping from its shelter among the wheat stalks 

A small selection of original paintings with landscapes, skies and birds

 

Some original paintings (watercolour and gouache on Arches 100% cotton paper) on the drafting table.

The most recent painting: a Tengmalm's owl - Boreal owl (Raufusskauz) in a snowy sunset (in the background a timber-framed Low German House or Fachhallenhaus). 

North Sea Coast

A view of the North Sea Coast: Atlantic puffins, terns, seals and traditional thatched roof houses.

 

Village and Landscape Illustrations for "Sorcery: Contested Realm"

The Steppe Card with desert sunset!

In the first vertical version of the Village a small foreground was also drawn. Here a partridge. In the background a typical wooden village of the Swiss Alps (Canton Valais)

In this vertical version another Village and another small foreground scene: a hawk attacks the partridge. In the background there is a typical village of Lower Saxony or Frisia.

These are the final versions in landscape format. I am delighted to have been able to portray some of my favorite European landscapes with these village Cards
