I've finished the pictures for the Irish-language children's picture book Dhá Chluas Capaill ar Labhraí Loingseach! (Which means: Larry Loingseach's Got Two Horse's Ears! in English.) Eithne Ní Ghallcobhair from Donegal wrote the text.
It's a retelling of an old Irish folk tale about a king, Larry Loingseach, who has a terrible secret (his horse's ears!) The green-faced fellow above is the "widow's son" sick with not being able to tell anyone the secret.
The building on the left is the local druid's residence. The two sample pages below show the king's harpist heading into the wood in search of material for a new harp.
The second sample page shows the widow's son encountering a willow tree in the same wood.The handsome woman on the left here is his mother.I hope to have more news about publication soon....
