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.

Bob the Goldfish

The Goldfish of Blackwater Manor

There are a few myths we should clear up.

The three second memory. A charming idea, if one must live inside a glass bowl without space to turn around a short memory would be sanity saving. Perhaps the pervasiveness of this myth stems from our own wishes to leave our mistakes in the past with a quickness.

I can assure you Bob has no such constraints upon his memory. Though he does have a very different life than the average goldfish. Somewhere in the synapses and brain matter s the memory of the shadow of mammoths darkening his particularly favorite spot in the pond. #kidlit #childrensbook #fantasyart

Goblincore Watercolor Emily Dickinson Painting

Original watercolor by children’s book author Monica Michelle. The Queen of the barn owls sits on top of a moss covered tree staring at a witch offering in a fairy circle of candles. A fox sleeps in its burrow etched over by a finch. An Emily Dickinson quote in gold typography.

A Murmur in the Trees – to note –

Not loud enough – for Wind –

A Star – not far enough to seek –

Nor near enough – to find –

A long – long Yellow – on the Lawn –

A Hubbub – as of feet –

Not audible – as Ours – to Us –

But dapperer – More Sweet –
