LAST STAND AT GILOH
Mrs. Trowbridge often wrote and painted subjects relating to her ancestors. She wanted her children and her descendants to understand and appreciate shrew family history. One of the most heroic and colorful characters in shrew legend was Shrew Khan. Here Mrs. T depicts a pivotal scene from Shrew Khan's career as a warrior shrew...the Last Stand at Giloh.

Absolutely mythic and beautiful! The whole concept of these chronicles is really neat.
I'm really enjoying Mrs. T's stories and her lush artwork, as always...
Mrs. T has a very impressive and epic background! I love the distant feeling of this piece...distant past and the faraway view. The rising smokeis amazing, and the sun rising over the mountains gives a feeling of hope. Lovely work!
Your work and stories are magical!
Thanks for stopping by with nice comments :)
Shrew Khan must have been anazing, so glad Mrs.Trowbridge shared this brief history of her heroic ancestor. I love the castle, very beautiful, very Mrs.Trowbridge. So excellent!
I still love reading your stories and seeing your illustrations.
This is such a great illustration. I love the trailing smoke. . .very peaceful!

Your mountains make me drool. They look so timeless and beautiful. Just like your stories, the scenes you paint are magical.
