I know you are asking yourself, why a snowy illustration in the middle of summer! Here’s why, I’ve been reading a historical fiction trilogy on the life of King Arthur of England. Yes there is a real King Arthur who lived and reigned in the mid 400’s AD. His life as a warrior king was not exactly that of the legends we know so well set in the later medieval times. This is a scene of Arthur saying goodbye to his queen on a wintry night and his daughter to set off during an unlikely season to defend his kingdom.
I am adding this illustration to my portfolio for the SCBWI L.A. Summer Spectacular that will be held virtually this summer. I will be participation in the Portfolio Showcase and Illustrator’s Gallery, and receive a 20 minute private virtual critique from children’s book industry executive (Art Director)! So excited!!
