Art: Catch.

[mothwing]

Title: Catch
Characters: Minerva McGonagall/Rolanda Hooch
Rating: G
Credits: *SenshiStock's Sailor Gossips, *charfade's Grass Brushes and ~eMelody's Bird Brushes.
Summary: This early, school and grounds were hers. Minerva soared higher, surveying the cold pitch, which low mists filled like water. For an hour she enjoyed the lonely rhythm of throwing and catching until far movement stopped her. She left, but the memory of the Ravenclaw's lean body soaring across the sky lingered on her mind all day. Minerva saw her again the next day, and the next. On their fourth day, Rolanda flew up and asked, voice gruff with shyness, if she wanted to join her. The speed of Minerva's weak-kneed agreement was mostly due to the girl's golden eyes.
A/N: My indecision when it comes to femme!ships makes my Minerva get a lot of action, and here is one more Minerva/Rolanda. Sorry about the clumsy quidditch title metaphor and the spam.

It is possible that I have been remiss in commenting on your art in the past.

That would be because it tends to render me speechless. This is gorgeous, and quite moving.

Wow, I don't know what to say, I'm honoured! I'm glad you like this one, too, thank you so much!

Oh, wow. This is so stunning. I love the transparency of their cloaks, the mist, and the frame. And their hair! The texture of it, wow. Lovely, so lovely!

Gorgeous!!!

There is so much to love about this, but what absolutely kills me for some reason is the birdie in the hoop! I bet it's the sparrow with whom I shared an ice-cream cone the other day.

Oooh, that must have been lovely! I know it's not good for the birds as such, but it's really endearing how trusting some wild birds are. Thank you very much. ;)

We had great fun. I sat on a park bench, and after a few crumbs the bird fluttered in front of my face staring at the cone to see if there'd be more. He's a Berliner; I'm hoping he has a resilient stomach. :)

Awww, how cute! The city birds I've known have really resilient stomachs, so I'm confident he'll be fine. :D

The details of your vegetation are always such an added delight; and I especially love the early morning yellow light coming up behind the fog... and the birds which counterbalance the snitch, and the boot-shafts.... :-))

I can't believe I missed this originally, because it's just gorgeous! I love the intimacy of the scene, and your summary, and all the details, from the drape of Minerva's cloak to the bats and the plants climbing up the goalposts.

This is beautiful. The affection with which they were drawn makes it more intimate, and the little details such as the shape of Minerva's glasses, hands before her face, and the wispy edges of Rolanda's hair, make it feel like you are there. Your personal art style is uncommon in a very good way - I don't really see art done this way, but I like it a lot. Thanks for sharing. :)
