I was involved in a group art exhibition/demonstration in The Edinburgh Festival in 2008 which as it's centrepiece was work by an illustrator who had done two of the Harry Potter novel covers, Cliff Wright. I decided to paint a picture that had an element of the Harry Potter novels, a Hippogriff. Having previously visited Edinburgh I chose as the setting Calton Hill that overlooks Edinburgh and placed the Hippogriff rushing towards the city with one of it's hooves touching the top of the monument.

Materials used:

Oil on mdf board, gessoed on both sides.
