L'Engle Tribute

Posted Feb 10, 2017, 2:03:37 AM UTC

I had a go at a Madeleine L’Engle tribute in acrylic paints. It... didn’t wind up looking like my ref photo, but it’s closer than it was when I started? ;) Surrounding bits are mostly from the first two in the Time Quartet and A Ring of Endless Light. :)

Is she surrounded by inspiration in this?

  ...I guess it could be read that way. These are her creations coming out of the book, so they could be already-made and coming back for a visit, or she could be seeing them for the first time before writing?

  No... she died in 2007, unfortunately. Would've loved to have met her.
