Description This was a painting that I did for a friend of mine for Christmas this year. Unfortunately, I took this shot after it was framed and there is a slight glare.

I used an old map that I found on the web that dated back to 1622 for reference. I used watercolors and black ink.

The coat of arms is his family's (Walters) from Wales.

----- I've added the "making of" this painting to my scraps folder. [link] [link] [link]



**** If you think you've seen this before, you're right. It was origianlly posted under my old DA account [link] and it was featured as a DD for 03-Jan-07. Everyone's comments there were greatly appreciated and any more that are added here just motivates me more!

You must've put a lot of effort into this... Great job man!
Pure curiosity -> What does the squirrel symbolises in his crest? I have it mentioned briefly in my books but they describe the crests of middle and east Europe...

Thanks mate. I've decide not to add this to the prints at this time because I didn't want to detract from my friends' original.

I'll do comission work though.

I think it's amazing. It is actually exactly what I'm looking for to frame on my wall. Wish I could get one of these! Nice work!
