Sutcliff's paintings

Dec 07, 2012 23:53

I know that Rosemary Sutcliff was a professional artist before she took up writing, and I think that background definitely reflects in her writing, all those fabulous descriptions.  But I've never come across any of her paintings, and all her books that I own are illustrated by other artists.

Has anyone ever seen any of her paintings?

The only thing I've ever seen is this piece that showed up for auction earlier this year: http://www.arcadja.com/auctions/en/sutcliff_rosemary/artist/445202/

Ooh! Thanks. What a pity it's such a small image. Still, nice to see. I wonder what the story behind him is, looks like there should be one!

So very, very 1950s, that's awesome.

Now I desperately want to know if she ever drew any of her book characters.
