Hauntingly beautiful. It evokes the same kind of sense of dreamlike myth as the books of Alan Garner, Charles DeLint and Robert Holdstock.

That's possibly one of the nicest things you could have said - I love Charles de Lint. Have you ever read Terri Windling? Her novel The Wood Wife was the thing I was reading just before painting this.

Oh, I love the Wood Wife. My late wife lived in New Mexico for 10 years and said how well it evoked the essesnce of the SouthWest.

The Wood Wife is a very serious contender for my favourite book in the whole world. It's always a treat to meet someone who's even heard of it, let alone who also loves it!

I haven't. But if you're recommending it, I shall certainly try to track it down. What do you like about it?

where to start? The way it suggests that we are tied to the land and landscape on a level far deeper than our waking, concious minds can percieve. The descriptions of smell, textures etc are almost visceral, it touches upon myth in a Jungian maner, and for me as a reader it has that way of making you experience the story, when the characters are under threat, your heart quickens, and you are drawn into the narative, feverisly reading, turning pages desperate to see what happens next.
