I like this drawing.  I think I'll make a painting out of it now.  I haven't decided what words to put in the scrolls... any ideas?

something from the Tablet of Ahmad...it tends to fit nicely into everything.

The two men are pointing at the poet Virgil at work (who lived BCE). I copied it from an illuminated manuscript by Simone Martini, a fav Renaissance artist.

Beautiful artwork. I just started blogging and was surprised to see your work and the reference here to the Tablet of Ahmad.
