illustration - The Homecoming-This image was originally designed as a Christmas card. I wanted to capture not only the mood of the season, with man and dog returning home to the comfort and security of the cottage and fireside, but also the mystery of the season contained within the celtic cross, glowing with light, yet largely unseen by mankind. - Schofield, Angela

Next four illustrations from Angela Schofield:
illustrator - portfolio - Schofield, Angela - Wise Woman-This work in oils on wood block is one of a series on magicians, sages and magic. I wanted to paint a woman with magical powers and knowledge that goes beyond day to day reality and back in time to the spiritual sphere. She is a witch with her familiars, the owl and the hare. I felt she needed to be a "belle-laide"..ugly but fascinating to look at...a powerful face. I also wanted to create the atmosphere of approaching dusk on a warm summer evening to lend a sense of mystery to the scene.
illustrator - portfolio - Schofield, Angela - Earth-This work in gouache is one of a series upon the theme of the elements and represents earth. The eye is symbolic of the spirit of the universe, present throughout creation and linked to the image of the " Green Man" ;all seeing; all knowing. In addition to the natural forms which emanate from the eye, man is also present in this work, piping his song in tune with nature.
illustrator - portfolio - Schofield, Angela - Water-This work in gouache is one of a series on the theme of the four elements and represents water. The eye/moon governs the tides and symbolises the spirit of the universe present throughout creation; all seeing; all knowing and linked to the image of the "Green Man". Life is shown both above and below water, the sea itself teeming with aquatic life. Man is also included in the work, having conquered/ lived in close proximity to the element through shipping and sailing vessels.
illustrator - portfolio - Schofield, Angela - Fire-This work in gouache is one of a series on the theme of the four elements and represents fire. The eye in the furnace is symbolic of the life force; the spirit of the universe present throughout creation; all seeing, all knowing and linked to the image of the "Green Man". There are natural forces such as the volcano in the work but they are combined with mythological elements in the form of the phoenix.Man is also present, harnessing fire to his own purposes through the worker stoking the kiln.
