4.5×7 inches, watercolour and gouache, 2008. A Centaur, half man, half horse. Intelligent and sometimes aggressive, centaurs study the stars and planets.
Hand drawn, 2B pencil. Inspired from the book “An Imaginary Life” by David Malouf. This is a dream of Centaurs that Ovid had. This is almost the last of the series from “An Imaginary Life”. This of the Centaurs meant a lot to me, i had a dream of a Centaur several years ago, one of my all time favorite dreams. When i have illustrations for my dream i will post it one day. i thank you again Paul (Compton) for the recommendation of this gem of a book
For the next challenge for the group Fine Arts Influenced by Literature. The book this time is “An Imaginary Life” by David Malouf. It is a factual & fictional tale of Ovid. He is cast out of Rome & goes to live with the Natives in a place called Tomis. He has a dream of Centaurs. Then later finds a child who has been raised by Deer. He captures The Child & keeps him for a time. Read the book to see what happens. All is hand drawn, 2B pencil i have always been intrigued by children raised by Animals, from fiction (Tarzan & Mowgli are my favorites) to factual. If i could live several lives over again i would love to be raised by Wolves in one life, by Tarzan’s Great Apes in another, and so on

The Black King’s Knight / Artist: Simon Sherry / Biography: Danny Excellence in military studies and on the battlefield gives the ordinary soldier a chance to become a Knight for the King the Black Spear. Generations ago it was discovered “breeding and class” had no place in determining one’s fitness to lead on the battle field. / Those chosen as the best are sent to be “improved” by the Shaman. These Centaur type warriors can leap over the dead and the fighting and have two hearts to steer their massive frames. / Selection is considered a great honour and a privileged life greets those that achieve this lofty acclaim.
Kelly dolls make the cutest little Centaurs! I like to make them from Barbies but Kelly and her friends are just as fun to turn into them. They all hang out in my Barbie Fairy Forest of Centaurs and other mythical ladies. / This is not actually Kelly but can’t remember which Kelly friend it is, maybe a Marissa. I rerooted the tail in bright red with a matching red strip in her hair, which is done up. I felt in a feathery mood while making her and I think she came up a fun little addition to my Fairy Forest. These are easy and creative for little girls to make.

The White Queen’s Knight (the Equilord) / Artist: Jordan Clarke / Biography: Danny Actual warrior soldiers from a different part of the kingdom and not products of the University, these Centaur type Knights are regarded highly by the King to protect his Queen and siege engines. Highly skilled in battle many have been resurrected and used as King’s Generals. Just as the King keeps the Ancient Knights under his flank the King also relies on the Centaurs to keep him informed of the Queen’s actions. The Centaurs are fiercely loyal to both King and Queen but know ultimately who is Ruler of the Kingdom
