Description A few months ago I went to Tintern Abbey (if you haven't been there - go, it's beautiful) and while I was walking around taking photos this little kid ran in front of my camera and charged up the steps, waving a little plastic sword. The whole time I was there he and his friends were running around re-enacting battles wherever I went, and it reminded me of a holiday when my cousin and I would amuse the American tourists by play-swordfighting in all the Welsh castles.

The title comes from when I knew another little kid ages ago who couldn't say Tintern Abbey and called it Tinternaby, which was super cute.

(I should be honest and say I traced most of the stonework outlines from the photos I took. Old architecture is hard to draw ;__; )


EDIT: I've gone back and darkened the foreground a little 'cause it was driving me crazy.

This is a really beautiful artwork, and the inspiration behind it is so charming. The lighting is really lovely, and I like the inclusion of the flowery vines. You did a wonderful job on the stone textures and carvings, and of course the person looks wonderful as well. Terrific piece!

That brings back fond childhood memmories.

Even if it's traced the stonework came out astoundingly.
