“Oak King”

by Julia Lundman

The Oak King, twin brother to The Holly King, ushers in summer, long days, sunshine and growth.

Since he has graced us for millennia, I felt it was time for the Oak King to sit for his formal portrait. I took inspiration from the Tudor portraits by Hans Holbein the younger, using acrylagouache and 22 karat gold leaf.

Artwork size: 10 ½” x 13 ¼”

Comes signed by the artist, me.

Julia Lundman

Julia Lundman graduated from the American Academy of Art in Chicago in 1993. Since then, she has worked in animation and games as a commercial artist, first in traditional animation as a background painter, and later as a illustrator for games and books. She has recently taken some time to devote toward development of her personal work, inspired by Victorian fairy painters, the pre-Raphaelites, Brian Froud, Alan Lee, Medieval art, folklore, novels, and the natural world.

Her process starts with sketchbook practice in the early morning hours. If a sketch feels interesting, she develops it into a series of more finished drawings. If the subject still resonates, she paints the image either in oil, acrylic or watercolor.
