Son of Incogneato (re)enters the Blogosphere

"And don't come back, ya lazy bum!"

I'm Baaack!
(See Son Returns! page to find out why)

20,000 Leagues under the Son


So, The Return of Son of Incogneato is soon clocking in at 20000 visits (19946 as I write). I figure hitting 20000 would be a good time to celebrate my visitors in some manner. Therefore I will be giving away a signed photograph in A4 format–The Path of Light and Darkness, featured here–to visitor number 20000 (or the first thereafter) who posts the words ‘Twenty Thousand’ in the comments section (‘X have said their bit, now it’s your turn’). Btw: You can say anything else you like as well, but ‘Twenty Thousand’ has to be in there somewhere.
Otherwise, after a relatively long, dry period in regards to painting and drawing, new things will be appearing here this Spring.

Cheers!
- Son

Quietus (watercolor on paper)

People ask me; is she dead? Sleeping? Dreaming? I'm not sure; perhaps all three.

Parzival (watercolor on paper)


Parzival is one of my favorite literary figures, although my main source is
the Wolfram Von Eschenbach story, Parzival, not Le Morte d'Arthur. Here's my attempt to portrait the legendary Grail knight in one of his lonelier moments.
For interested parties, here is Parzival underway: Parzival in steps

Except for the occasional oasis it was a dry and dusty land ...

Exspecto (watercolor on paper)


I did a pencil sketch for the tree earlier. You can see it here at Tree Study.
As is probably rather obvious, I am uncommonly fond of trees.

Another Time, Another Place (color inks on paper)


This is one my earliest paintings, back when I was experimenting with colore inks. When I say earlier, that would mean that it’s probably older than many of you viewing it.
Perhaps of interest to my future biographer: the yellow/orange plant-thing in the middle right foreground is taken from an even earlier painting, which is my very first acrylic painting and can be viewed here; Alien Plantlife .
As with many of my paintings and drawings, I have no idea where either of these pieces are, or if they indeed still exist at all.

The Ever Winding Path (pen & ink on paper)


Climbing the path of knowing, one must sometimes make leaps of faith . . .
For those who are interested; here's the path this drawing took, from
beginning to end - The Ever Winding Path

Venator (watercolor on paper)
