Sunday morning I awoke to the sound of much needed rain. It was a peaceful and welcome sound and the heavy rain had a hypnotic effect on me. Many fields and lawns had turned brown as one hot sunny day followed another. I’m glad our plants can now be renewed and grateful that there was no hay mowed to be ruined by the downpour.
As I was encouraged to stay inside, I turned to stretching some batik on canvas stretchers and then framed them. I looked back to a batik from long ago. See the detail of unicorns swimming in the sea, inspired by the book “The Last Unicorn”
I enjoy fantasy and here are some more recent batik. Horse Dreaming Below Tree ( about unicorns), and Golden Eagle over Lothlorien ( inspired by Tolkien).
