The artwork titled "Arthur and Guineve" is a captivating piece that measures 20x16 inches. Created with colored pencil on mossy green paper, it combines intricate detail and textured style to bring a vibrant scene to life.

The central focus is a large and elaborate tree with a gnarled trunk and branches stretching across the canvas. The tree is rooted in lush green grass, which blankets the entire ground, imbuing the scene with a sense of natural vitality. To the right of the tree, a white wicker chair and a small stool are strategically positioned, facing a serene body of water in the background. Near the water’s edge, two white swans, add an element of tranquility and grace, enhancing the picturesque quality of the scene. Tall greenery and reeds envelop the water, completing this peaceful outdoor setting.

What makes this artwork particularly special is its real-life inspiration. The scene is based on a tranquil spot at Trout Springs Winery, where two beloved swans, Arthur and Guineve, reside. The location, affectionately deemed Camelot by the winery’s owner, provided the perfect backdrop for this serene landscape. This scene captures Arthur and Guineve as they were in late August of 2020, during a moment of artistic inspiration enhanced by a glass of blush wine enjoyed by the artist while seated in the wicker chair depicted.

This artwork was proudly exhibited at the Rahr West Museum in 2020 as part of the Waters Edge Artists’ "Art of Preservation Exhibit," celebrating the harmony and beauty of natural landscapes.
