Description
This is for Mike (Feamike) who was the first person to say George would come back to Anna and who never gave up that faith. I suspect those feelings about natural justice reflect a lot about our Mike in the real world. For you my friend, one from my Grannie's attic.
Another image of Delphinium Order characters that I recently found in the attic at my Grandmother's house. Aren't these old images just simply delicious? Faded and yet so full of life. I always wonder how they were made. There was an artist of that time called Wayne Doarte who was quite famous for producing the lovely backgrounds that grace this and many other images of the Delphinium Order. I shall have to look in Wikipedia and see if I can learn more of his techniques.
Ah, and here we have an image of the lovely Lady Anna Wildwood and I do believe that is her dragon George perched on her shoulder. Oh, she did love him. He must have been but a newborn kit when this image was created. George was known to have been a mischievous little bastard and caused Anna no end of trouble; right from the moment of his hatching so they say. There are rumors of him having gotten into Lady Larkspur's mead during Lady Anna's coronation into knighthood and gotten quite hammered. I shall have to see if I can find some manuscripts of that event. Do you get a sense of that devil may care attitude from the wicked grin that he is flashing here? I know I do. I think George was just born to be wild.
Anna seems to have a slight look of trepidation behind that lovely smile of hers, don'tcha think? I suspect that she was wondering at this point what sort of wild ride she was in for with George, both literally and figuratively. What I do know right now is that the fact that George was a bit of a troublemaker was due in large part to his great curiosity and intelligence. He could be rascal, but he was also known to be loyal and brave. Anna often called him her "bad cat" because he was always on the hunt and often scaring up trouble. Her feline analogy was probably well spoken.
