The Crossing
You are most blessed, or extraordinarily lucky.
To see the crossing is a rare thing,
The moment fae comes through the tree to celebrate the Goblin markets
There are tells of course.
Horses are, of course, rarely blue
Are there any other sand you have seen?
With the Sincerity am Capable of,
The Librarian of Blackwater Manor

The Swans of Blackwater Manor
🏛️ The Secret of Blackwater Manor 🏛️
There is a silence that only exists in the halls of Blackwater. 🕯️✨
I’ve finally finished my latest watercolor, "The Swans of Blackwater Manor," and it’s more than just a painting—it’s a window into a forgotten Renaissance dream.
Imagine a sun-drenched Italian balcony, the scent of pomegranates and old parchment in the air. A single swan, adorned with a delicate golden chain, keeps a watchful eye over a sleeping kitten nestled near a violin and harp. 🎻🦢
Why this piece belongs in your study:
✨ 100% Hand-Painted: Every wash of watercolor and fine detail was created by hand (No AI, just soul).
🏰 The Aesthetic: Perfect for your Dark Academia gallery wall or Castlecore sanctuary.
📖 The Poem: Included with the piece is a short, haunting poem I wrote specifically for this scene.
🗝️ Step Into the Manor
The original painting and the full poem are now live on my site. This is a one-of-a-kind piece looking for its forever home.
