Merry Christmas to Everyone!

Here's a Christmassy image by one of my favourite Dutch artists, Anton Pieck. The lines in his work remind me of the curlicues in mywitch's beautiful medieval border (see yesterday's ravings about my 25 Days of Christmas gift. Taking into account how many drawings this man produced in his lifetime, each so very detailed, in a time-consuming ink and watercolour process, he must have worked like a medieval monk. All day long, and just as carefully.

I think it's ink and watercolour, by the way. That's what sigune used for Rejoicing in the Greenhouse. One sees the same curly lines, and I referred to Pieck in my mails. Sigune knew all about him and confirmed the influence. And she did her beautiful piece in ink and watercolour.

Also, this is a drawing of the artist at work! Tip o'the wand to those generous and talented artists who work in the Potter fandom.
