The Art of Rowena

Summary: Vivid colors, minute details in fairy-tale scenes
Review: ...continuing from my review title: not just fairy-tale scenes, but most of Rowena's art has a magical touch, lavishly detailed.

Rowena's fantasy world is like the colors of her paintings: rich, vivid and beautiful. A harmonious and sometimes even light-hearted approach is always present even in the face of danger. It seems that this talented artist believes in the victory of good over evil, which her high quality work is a testimony of.

Summary: The prettiest monsters in town
Review: Rowena Morrill is a very fine artist with an excellent eye for detail, just how good is revealed by her portraits of Isaac Asimov & Anne McCaffrey . I do have a couple of miner gripes some of her characters assume rather contrived poses, take the cover for example. Could anybody smile beatifically and thoughtfully drape a lily , while an animated statue grasped your leg ? The colours she uses are extremely vivid and some of her monsters are so garish they tend to Kitsch rather than visceral. But I`m a sucker for Brom and compared with his creations anything short of Giger looks tame, so feel free to disagree. These quibles apart this remains a collection of some extremely well done paintings and would be a worthy part of any fantasy art collection.

Summary: Depicts the fantasy and surreal darkness of the world
Review: Rowena's paintings depict the fantasy and surreal darkness of the world, focussing on monsters, myths, and legendary creatures which are unusual and warm. This gathers Rowena's many contributions to the fantasy world, and the full-page color reproductions of book jacket covers and other items will draw many already familiar with many of her works, who may not have viewed her art under one cover. A beautiful keepsake presentation.
