These are lovely. I particularly like Holmes playing his violin - the way he is framed by the doorway seems to emphasise his solitude.

Lovely! These feel like they could be a glossy children's picture book (and I mean that as a complement.)

The only two people. The light is perfect. As is Watson's mustache.

I love the tones in the first picture - I find the door, mirror, wallpaper and violin especially appealing. And I really like the composition. I also love the soft, muted colours in the second.

There's a beautiful contrast between Holmes, alone in his grey frame, and the two of them framed together in warmer hues and set in a landscape with colour (and dawn breaking).

Both illos are beautiful, and the contrast is quite striking and meaningful. Lovely work, anon!

Oooohhhh ... So pretty!
Lovely pictures for equally lovely fiction. (Ok, I may be slightly biased because I prompted one of them...)

These are wonderfully atmospheric, echoing the titles perfectly. The soft tones and ethereality (if that's a word) of the second one are beautiful.

Nicely rendered, both of these. The landscape in the second one adds to the dreamy quality of the prose.

Beautiful illos that catch the mood of the original stories perfectly.

SQUEEEEEEE!!! I just returned from a brief holiday with no Internet access to discover this magnificent gift. Thank you, dear Anon, a million zillion times! I am thrilled to pieces. Your artwork is so lovely, and that you chose to illustrate not one but two of my works - it's beyond fantastic. Thank you so, so much for your talent, your generosity, and for everything!!!

I love how Holmes is looking out the window and Watson is looking at Holmes, it feels like a fitting image of their relationship. Well done!

Lovely artwork, well done :3

Mmm, so pretty. The incorporation of the text into the images themselves is so inviting. I'd love to see an entire story illustrated this way!
