A Union of Houses (Two of Cups)

by Matthew Spencer

The Court of the Emerald King bears witness to the union of two of His subjects: a greying knight whose loyalty has been proven time and again, and a devoted farrier without whom the King’s Knights would be hobbled.

–

Inspired by Leyendecker’s knights, illuminated manuscripts, this season of Pride- and all the different forms love can take.

Painted in watercolor, gouache, and colored pencil on 140lb Arches hot press paper. Embellished with gold ink.

The artwork is matted in a handpainted mat and framed in a hammered wood frame, which has been embellished with gold ink, and the inner edge gilded to bring additional glow to the piece.

He works primarily in ink, watercolor and gouache (often embellished with metal leaf), creating pieces inspired by folklore, history, and nature.
