“Courage, dear heart.” — The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
She looks like the kind of woman who carries her own fire through the cold. Heroine, wanderer, or winter queen — which one do you see?

In stock at @blackwells.bsky.social Oxford: #InvisibleAgents & #Spycraft ! I’m missing #ElizabethStuart Queen of Hearts though. Stuart Britain is more than Charles I & the biography I wrote about his boar-spearing, witty sister, still mocked as the #WinterQueen , is a must-read

Immerse yourself in the magic of winter... ❄️✨ When frosty elegance meets festive colors. I love the combination of deep fir green and vibrant red. Like a winter queen welcoming the first snow.

Digital painting of a winter snow queen! A palette of soft blues and whites and almost-purples surrounds this gorgeous fantasy queen. She stands center frame holding a snowflake wand, in a crystal-adorned bodice with semi-sheer white gloves that reach her mid-upper arm. The skirts are dramatic, layered, criss-crossing with tiny folds. Behind her are wings that look like frost, semi-transparent in places. She is surrounded by crystals behind and before her.
[ the snow queen ] my last art of 2025, perhaps? unless i manage to squeeze one more before the end. but it IS the final monday of 2025. here is my ode to my love: winter.

Very happy to read Catherine Bates’ review of my #ElizabethStuart, Queen of Hearts in Renaissance Quarterly, which calls the ‘superb, exhaustive, and scholarly’ Queen of Hearts ‘the first [truly] historical biography of this remarkable woman’. I’ll take that for the win!
No #WinterQueen She
Louise Hollandine (Princess Palatine) was the 6th (or 7th) child and 2nd daughter of Frederick Elector Palatine and his wife Princess Elizabeth Stuart, eldest daughter of King James VI and I of England and sister of King Charles I. Louise was born in The Hague, shortly after her parents' arrival in the Netherlands following Frederick's defeat in Bohemia in 1620. She was christened Louise after her paternal grandfather and Hollandine as a tribute to the States of Holland, her godfathers, and the country of her birth. She studied primarily in Leiden at the 'Prinsenhof', and began drawing lessons at age six. Louise was taught in the Calvinist tradition according to the Heidelberg Catechism and studied with Gerard van Honthorst. Louise is said to have had a love-affair with James Graham, 1st Marquess of Montrose (originally Earl of Montrose), a Scottish Cavalier soldier and poet. Montrose, a revered national hero, won many outstanding military victories until ultimately being hanged, drawn and quartered in 1650. In December 1657, to the dismay of her Protestant family and with the assistance of her aunt (by marriage) Henrietta Maria of France, Louise left her home in disguise and became a Catholic nun which created lifelong animosity with her family. With the support of French King Louis XIV, she became Abbess of Maubuisson in August 1664 although her mother Elizabeth Stuart attempted to have Louise arrested and returned. Louise lived at the Cistercian Maubuisson Abbey until her death at the age of 84. This elegant portrait dates from around 1650. According to the catalogue for the "Winter Queen" exhibition of 1963, it appears to have been reduced in size from an original three-quarter length composition. She portrays herself as a fair-skinned beauty with dark, curly hair, wearing an exotic broad-brimmed, disc-shaped hat, woven in a radial pattern with yellow and orange strips of fabric and a richly colored, draped garment while holding a stick or paintbrush.

FINALLY I can show this piece!😭 It's a very complex image that took a lot of effort from me and @rafzanchetin.bsky.social to balance everything in its place. LOVED to work on this illustration and to have a chance to paint the Winter Queen!😍
