SciFi and Fantasy Art Coat-of-Arms by Charlotte Geier

This is my father's family Coat-of-Arms, granted in Ireland, containing a demi-dragon rising from a red Eastern crown atop a Baronet's helm. According to my sister who is the family genealogy specialist, the small or half- shield below the helm originated with the wife's family. The shield has a gray border with a 'vert' or green field. The 'Hand of Ulster' is at the top of the red ribbon - which liess on the diagonal from the left top to the right bottom of the shield - followed by a swan, a gold Eastern crown, and another swan. It is embellished with gold flourishes. The motto is 'Constantia et Fidelitate', meaning 'Constant and Faithful'.

8 Apr 1999	Themnax of lananara	Loading... i like the dragon on top being green. the strength of growing things which gives us the air we breath (though it probably realy stands for something else entirely). a tint on a tint though, oh my.
24 Jul 1999	Phantom Nitpicker	Loading... Well, actually it means "Constant and Faithful," but I do like the picture.
25 Jul 1999	Charlotte Geier	Loading... Thank you, Phantom Nitpicker! I truly appreciate the clarification on the meaning of the motto. You are obviously someone who understands Latin... I should have noticed that "et" is "and", even though I know little of Latin.
23 Aug 1999	Wilson T Saunders	Loading... I think the orld needs some more phantom nitpickers. Have them traips arround in purple capes and point out random details. Oh the havoc they could spread, muhahaha. ahem nice picutre you do your coat of arms well.
2 Jun 2003	Timothy Clarke Long	Loading... Well you know who I am Aunt Charlotte. By the way, how are you doing? I really love the "Coat-of-Arms." Not only because it bears a family name,(as well as my middle name). It is a beautiful piece of art.It also reflects a heritage in my..(our), family history. A history I'd like to learn about. In fact, that is what I was doing when I stumbled upon your website. Anyway, all your art is good, tonight is the first time I've seen your work. Looks good!!
