Wall of Lore #1 ~ Watercolor by John Klobucher

Hello friends and art fans! Here’s the latest Art of Lore…

This is another view of the famous Wukoki Pueblo ruins that I’ve painted before (from the Wupatki National Monument near Flagstaff, Arizona). It features a tall sandstone wall with small window holes that keep watch over the sacred land and eye the tourists who come to visit.

For a thousand years this wall has stood here. I hope that it stands for a thousand more.

Title: Wall of Lore
Painted: December 2017
Paints: Winsor & Newton Professional Water Colours
Paper: Arches Watercolor Block, cold pressed, 140lb 9″x12″

Gray Land Lore #1 ~ Watercolor by John Klobucher

Hello friends and art fans! Here’s the latest Art of Lore…

Vaam could barely believe her eyes. She’d heard all about the Gray Land by now, but those legends and songs did not do it justice. She paused to survey its colorlessness.

“Beautiful, isn’t it — in a way. But ghastly as well. A shadowed place.”

Her guard nodded. “Yes, ma’am. We best keep our distance.”

“There’s no time for that. We must pass through.”

“At our peril…”

Vaam stopped him. “Afraid of ghosts, pikesman?”

He looked away.

“Maybe I should be too.”

Gray clouds gathered overhead. The dark lake echoed a mournful cry.

“For Syland!” she waved the men on. “Let’s ride!”

Path of Lore #1 ~ Watercolor by John Klobucher

Hello friends and art fans! Here’s the latest Art of Lore…

I once hiked this trail in the clouds. It was long ago on a trek to the snow-capped Olympic Mountains of Washington state, which rise just west and in view of Seattle. But now that I see this scene again, it could easily pass for someplace more mystical — a path of lore from a timeless epic.

Is that a Jedi temple ahead? Or the gateway to Rivendell, home of elves…
