Week 1: Watercolor Inspired by Edith Wharton’s Kerfol

Welcome to Brush and Pen Project’s first art post! The above piece was inspired by Edith Wharton’s Kerfol. Though the story itself ends quite grimly, I wanted to create a piece that celebrated the bond between Anne de Cornault and her dogs. Though we know that these dogs spirits don’t move on after killing Yves de Cournault, because the narrator sees the ghost dogs hundreds of years later, I would like to imagine that the dogs and Anne could be reunited in the afterlife and Anne could finally have what she wanted the most, companionship.
