Description
Two illustrations for a story I began to write but didn't finish about an imaginary meeting of two cultures, Roman and Anglo Saxon.
The woman looking out over a Saxon village is from a Roman family
her child and husband are buried in the forest that she now inhabits and Rome was never her home. The children she befriends from the village seem simple and barbaric, but they begin to bring her back to life. The parents are not aware of their children's new friend until the day that their mother becomes ill as she is due to give birth.
