Piano Concerto 'Dark Waters' | 1st Mov | Dark and wild - Caught by the Storm | Original composition

So, I composed a piano concerto because, you know, too much time on my hands.

Here's the wild and stormy first movement!

In the pew-lined interior of a dim medieval church lit by rows of candles on tall staffs and pale sunlight coming through a window, a tall humanoid crow figure with flowing black robes and a glowing yellow eye stands beneath an ornately carved semicircular arch in Norman Romanesque style. On the wall surrounding the arch are many colourful murals depicting more humanoid crow figures with halos, carrying various items including swords, spears, harps, and chalices.

On the wall surrounding the arch are many colourful murals depicting more humanoid crow figures with halos, carrying various items including swords, spears, harps, and chalices.

A painting set in a cosy shady woodland clearing on a sunny summer's day. In the centre of the frame, two figures sit on a fallen log mostly hidden by vegetation. The figure on the right has wavy blonde hair down past her shoulders, and wears a flowing white floor-length dress with long sleeves, with delicate lacework around the cuffs and neckline. She looks into the distance with a contemplative, sad expression. On her lap rests a small green book, covered by both of her hands. 
The figure on the left sits leaning with her head against shoulder of the other figure. She wears a similar dress but simpler, and in a dark slate grey. Her hair is dark and straight, and flows down her tilted face, and she looks off towards a nightingale bird perched on a nearby branch. She raises a hand towards the other figure as if to get her attention.

Both figures are surrounded by various flowers. On the left of the frame are many spires of foxglove flowers in vivid pink and white, interspersed among green stinging nettles.  On the right are the purple flowers of monkshood/wolfsbane. 

Wrapping around the figures is a clear stream flowing from a distant pond that descends in a series of steps. Around the stream are many small mossy rocks, and shoots of dark green dog's mercury.

Above and behind the figures and flowers are two trees; on the left is a weeping willow with dangling dark green leaves. On the right are the branches of an old ash tree.

A snowy scene in which a humanoid figure in long black robes with the head of a rook stands in a churchyard holding a long spear. By its feet is a red fox. Both are flecked with fallen snow. Around them are many weathered snow-covered graves. In the background is a medieval church of warm coloured stone with large rectangular windows and a battlemented parapet topped with pinnacles. Behind the main body of the church is the tower with clock face and belfry. Behind the church are tall but bare trees dusted with snow. More snow falls in the air.

Here’s a little fan art I painted for my friend @venrin.bsky.social to celebrate her debut novel, The Roots That Bind Us. I had the joy of being a beta reader, and I absolutely loved it!
Characters –charming, magic system –elegant, politics – intriguing, romance – delicious.
So proud of you girl! πŸ’–πŸ˜­

The Holy City of Rab

Ironically given that it was my most successful piece on Cara, I wasn't particularly happy with my first attempt at this scene. So second try.

As for the snow, in my defence, it was still winterish when I started this #artwork several weeks ago!

Cover illustration of 'The Mercy Makers' by Tessa Gratton, painted by Eleonor Piteira. A cocky dark-haired woman in a red dress with a mask made of magic is smirking at the viewer as she manipulates golden geometric threads with her hands. The hand with the red silk glove is removing a thread, the other is holding a sort of stylus and drawing a new thread. Below, there is the silhouette of a city, and one moon.

On the background tile rooftops and a church are painted red.

A black slim woman with grey-ish hair stands against the sun, looking at the right side in profile and holding a quarterstaff. On the desert around her, several stylised figures stand raising their swords up. In the sky there's a faint planetary ring with two moons, one on each side of it.
