Traditional Art / Paintings / Illustration / Storybook

Quatrain LXXIV

Ah, Moon of my Delight who know'st no wane,
The Moon of Heav'n is rising once again:
How oft hereafter rising shall she look
Through this same Garden after me - in vain!

This is one of my own personal favourites from this set. This and the illustration for quatrain 21 (below) were enlarged on display panels at the [link](Rubáiyát exhibition at the British Library) (in the photography-forbidden area).

lllustration for the 150th anniversary edition of Edward FitzGerald's translation of the Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám, published by The Folio Society, in a limited edition of 1,000 copies (edition sold out): [link]

Watercolours and gouache highlights on Fabriano Artistico watercolour paper (the old kind which is no longer produced), 140lbs/300 gsm; 280 x 150mm (the full view is larger than the original).

Gorgeous and elegant!

~elianthos80 Oct 7, 2010

Goodness gracious *_*.
The elegance, the colours, the XIX century illustrators style.
I wish they can reprint the book >.<

Wow! It looks exactly like an illustration from one of my childhood books - Beauty and the Beast. Style is the same and the figure looks just as stunning. Great.

Such a deep sense of calm serenity!

Gorgeous...I really love this one!

*LG-Young Feb 20, 2010

Ah, this is perfectly ethereal; I've become quite a fan of your delicately lifted fabrics and gouache sparkles.

Happy (belated) anniversary and birthday. May this year bring even more creativity and fulfillment than the last.

~Remige Feb 18, 2010

I just adore the radiant little details in this. So beautiful.

~vifetoile Feb 10, 2010 Hobbyist

I was at the British Library two weeks ago and saw your art on the wall and was superbly excited, all "I know that artist!" Not to mention it's incredibly beautiful.

~haius Feb 9, 2010

this is one of my favorites also, I think because of the tiny white flowers, the moon with the trees, and the blue-and-gold of the woman's dress.
