Well, I have finished this work now. Merlin's Dream is acrylic on canvas, 18 inches x 24 inches. The painting depicts the dream of a peaceful kingdom, and the peoples who live in its borders. Around the ring, and the regions of the far borders, reside beings who guide, and oft times protect the dream.  Updated to larger filesize and better color..

This is amazing William it make me want to turn my picture in a colour version all the more. I hope I get it done before my eyes get much older as well, as it is I sometimes need a magnifying glass to see some. 2

I saw a lot in your picture but details escape me so can't give them the correct names, but I love the dolphin bowchasing. I'm also relieved to see merlin in his cave, so many forget that he was trapped in this cave at the end, and now sleeps waiting the last call.

:-) William A. Clayton replies: "Hi Steph! Glad you like this piece, and I hope your work turns out well! I have a new update qued, my newest works, so, I hope you'll give a look see. I think we are all dreaming, like Merlin, and hoping for a better today."

Wowsers. This is one of the best Arthurian pics I've seen. A big LOL to Reine des coeurs affreux for listing everything he or she saw, I will say there is a lot for the eye to take in!

:-) William A. Clayton replies: "Thank you, Heidi! Yes, some people actually see more in them than I could possibly place there purposefully. I have always enjoyed the Arthurian legends. Do come again..."

That’s an amazing picture. It’s so colorful and detailed!

I love that you blended the old "pagan" world with the new incoming "Christian" influences to show there could be an harmony. Surely that WAS Merlin’s dream. Also love the round table with its knights and Arthur & Guenivere at its head. Have long loved the Arthurian legends.

This must’ve taken a very long time. I love the colours -- so exciting.

Woah-oh-oh. OK. Um. Wow. Ok, has anyone seen my words? I’ve lost them.
