Every year my sister and I produce a calendar for my father's birthday. This year most of my contribution is medieval-art themed. I've scanned several of the pictures, but I haven't worried too much about color balance or size.

Gouache painting based on eleventh-century Spanish manuscript painting
Colored-pencil drawing based on another medieval Spanish illumination
Gouache-colored version of lion block print
Linoleum-block print based on image from fifteenth-century book of Aesop's fables

Nice! The block prints are nifty, and I've always liked that 11th C. Spanish style.

Lovely!

I should really get off my duff and do more art, dangit. :)

I'm just impressed that you did a linoleum block print on your own! I remember those things from High School Art... remember gouging myself a thousand times!
