Description On the far meadows of Cair Paravel, Aslan visits with a dear friend on a beatiful Spring day


I finished this painting for my good friend . This was part of my art trade with him and I hope he likes the piece. I spent around 25 - 30 hours on it and the size is 14x20. I used Watercolors and Acrylic on Arches Hot Press paper.

Thanks for looking

The movie was excellent if you haven't seen it. I know it will be something I pick up on blu ray. I definitely recommend it.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot it's out already. I live in a small town with no theaters, so I have to wait for the dvd. The only part I'm concerned with is if they did the part with Eugene turning into a dragon right. That is a crucial part of the story. You don't have to give any spoilers, just a "yes" if they did that part right, and a "no" if they didn't.

Yep, Eustace is great in the movie. The dragon scene is very memorable. The dvd should be coming out soon since the movie was out over Christmas time and is out of theaters You will like it.

Man, there are not much words left for commenting it again. This is one of your - and being absolutely subjective - your really best painting! You managed it to make of the wonderful stories of Narnia and especially of this scene a colorful and inspiring interpretation full of freedom and happiness. I really love the great composition with its vivid colors and strong characters ... and the Teddy Bear!

Be sure it'll find a place of honor on our walls ... but I have to fight battles to win against Lara!

I am really happy we did and for my part are still doing this art trade!

DavidHoffrichter In reply to ascer [2011-02-21 16:14:36 +0000 UTC]

Thanks man!

I remember when we were talking about it. First it was going to be something from the last battle, then Lucy, then Lucy and Aslan, and finally Aslan and your daughter. Of course I had to add the bear I am happy this isn't associated with a particular story, but our very own

I am happy with what we ended on. I think it makes it better.. I will try to get it matted for you before you come over

I am very happy that we did the trade man.... Now get to work!!!

Oh that's very pretty and so gentle too! Aslan may not be a tame lion, but he is such a very good one!!
