Well, I figured it was time to do an illustration for my absolute, all-time, favorite book: 'Winter's Tale' by Mark Helprin. If you're into magical realism, you should check it out - it's truly a beautiful and wonderful read. Not to go into too much detail, but this is the scene when Athansor, Peter Lake's flying white horse, rises from the sea with a young Christiana on his back. I was (again) trying for Arthur Rackham's style - I'm mostly happy. I can't really accomplish the layers and layers of tinting that make his works so great, but I try :)
