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 

The two "Foot Soldier" (Token) illustrations made for "Sorcery Arthurian Legends"

 

Here the two paintings are placed side by side, so that the British Arthurian Foot Soldier (in a coastal landscape reminiscent of the English coast) and the Saracen Foot Soldier appear to confront each (even the ground line of the background almost seems to be one the counterpart of the other, in the two illustrations)

Here are the two small cards. 

I take advantage of this space to repost the Illustration "Plague", because, having recently seen the new -beautiful -  "Nosferatu" by Robert Eggers, this image came to mind. There are natural analogies, I think, with the part of the film where rats carry the plague and a street in the (fictional) German city of Wisborg is shown.

Even in this illustration, since I love German medieval and Renaissance architecture, I had fun inserting elements typical of half-timbered houses.

This is one of my favorite illustrations and I enjoyed painting it!

Here is a detail of the work in progress
