I admit to taking Trevor's illustration of Merlyn and Archimedes (his owl) and adding color and my spin to the characters.

Sunday Sketches
Always a Merlyn fan, recently I have been re-reading books about him and King Arthur. Mary Stewart has a trilogy of the Arthurian Legends, and T.H. White wrote The Once and Future King with an unpublished conclusion, The Book of Merlyn. This last book has become my favorite with the fabulous illustrations by Trevor Stubley and the analogies of man and animal especially when Merlyn turns Arthur into an ant and a goose.

ReplyDeleteWhat a great Merlin! And I love his owl too. Well done!
ReplyDeleteHi Joanne, I love the legends of Merlin and King Arthur... I recently found out that there is real evidence that Merlin existed... although they still think that Arthur was several people...It's fasinating... love your illustration... :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome Merlin!!!
ReplyDeleteI've been reading about Arthurian themes all my life. I'm an Arthurian and Celtic fan. Of course I read Mary Stewart's trilogy, Marion Zimmer-Bradley's one and everything I could put my hands on!! :)
