Here's @margaretkart's OCs, Iocaste and Kleandros-- she's a headstrong Theban courtesan, and he's an Athenian general who loves her but is filled with jealousy because of her checkered past. They're in a garden filled with roses, where they've escaped after a rowdy symposium.

Anyway, I've wanted to do a clinch sketch in a classical setting for a while, and this seemed a good opportunity. #romanceart #ancientgreece #sketch #sketchbook #historicalromance

Here's my clinch sketch of Napoleon and Josephine, the winners of my Valentine's Day poll! You see them circa 1796-7, during the Italian campaign. #sketch #romanceart #napoleonandjosephine #clinch #Napoleon

This illustration is titled: Cursed Love and Wounded Doves

It's from: Of Evil and Angels Book II

A book cover illustration I did for author (and Napoleon enthusiast) Diane Scott Lewis is now live! It’s for her book NAPOLEON’S ELYSIUM: DESIRE AND BETRAYAL ON ST HELENA, a Kindle exclusive. If you’re interested in Napoleon, historical romance, or just an engaging, epic, romantic read with memorable characters, drawn from history, I highly recommend it! #napoleon #napoleonbonaparte #historicalromance #illustration #romanceart #art
