Painting depicts a nighttime scene of seaside cliffs. A boy and a dog are looking out to the sea, the boy’s blue cape blowing behind him in the wind. It is drizzling with rain. In the background there’s a castle atop cliffs and out at sea there’s a red-hulled sailing ship approaching.

2/2 The book has lots of beautiful art, including the cover art for the Unwin paperbacks from 1989 & 1990 of “The Reindeer People”

If you’re not familiar with this two part story of Tillu & Kerlew, here’s the wiki page:
www.theplenty.net/wiki/index.p...
Photo of one of the pages of the book “Shaman the art of Susan Seddon Boulet” featuring the piece titled “Reindeer People”. In it there’s a blue and white snowy landscape, a woman and a child, and a white wolf in a dreamlike sky. Lots of small details like reindeer are depicted on top of the woman’s clothing.

1/2 Came across this Susan Seddon Boulet art book the other day and thought I’d post it here for the first ever #MeganLindholmMonday on #BookSky
The cover art has the title “Midnight Sun” and was used on the 1989&1990 Unwin paperback editions for “Wolf’s Brother”.
Photo of a stack of books, the one on the top is a large glossy paperback titled “Shaman the paintings of Susan Seddon Boulet”. The art on the cover depicts a person, a wolf and an owl somewhat merging together. In the background there’s a dark forest contrasted with red sky.
