Rowena's recurring dream???

WHOA OKAY.

BACK UP.

So you're telling me that, although she's dragging her feet and being a grumpy gills, Rowena dreams about a NICE HOUSE LIKE THIS:

With nice furniture like THIS? (White furniture at that… white!) And ginger-fucking-bread-houses?!

With rugs and carpets and a crackling hearth?

With Crowley acting like the eight-year-old boy she left in the dust?

With a full little PENGUIN family overlooking the scene in the bottom right?

with a STACK FULL OF PRESENTS????

HOLY CRAP.

It's still cold outside sometimes, but it's always warm inside.

And oh. Sam.

///

FOR MONTHS?!

RO. ROWENA. RO-RO.

(She wonders, perhaps, what her life would've been like if she's lived in THIS time, if Crowley had been born in today's modern world...)

Would they have a HOUSE? Would there be PLENTY?

James Hogg, 1770 - 1835. Poet; 'The Ettrick Shepherd'

Artist: Sir John Watson Gordon (Scottish, 1788 - 1864)

Date: 1830

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: National Galleries of Scotland, Edinburgh, Scotland

Description

Over his gentlemen's clothes, Hogg has wrapped a shepherd's plaid and he holds a crook in his left hand. Hogg was born on a farm and worked as a shepherd until he established himself as successful writer. He had little formal education and shrewdly promoted himself as 'nature's genius'. He published poetry and prose, his most remarkable work probably being ' The Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner, a terrifying novel which still influences contemporary Scottish writers.

Penicuik Sketches Reconstructions

In honor of St. Andrew’s Day, I decided to draw a series of drawings of one of my favorite subjects—Scottish Highlanders of the Jacobite Uprisings of 1715 and 1745 (I’ve loved Scottish history since 10th grade).

One of the few primary sources we have of the Jacobite Uprisings are a series of anonymous sketches of soldiers in Bonnie Prince Charlie’s army sketched by an inhabitant of the town of Penicuik, drawn when the Jacobites stayed briefly in the town. The sketches are, well, sketches, and thus lack a lot of detail, so I decided to reconstruct four of the sketches with captions naming the figures in my own style to bring these figures more to life.

General Observations

All the highlanders are portrayed as clean-shaven with loose, stringy hair.

The highlanders are portrayed as stocky and fleshy-face.

The Figures

Glengary-Glengary is a left-handed swordsman, wielding a basket-hilted broadsword and targe, with a pistol at his belt. He wears a large blue bonnet and sporran, but unlike the popular image of a Highlander does not wear a belted plaid; instead, he wears a short jacket and breeches. The Penicuik sketches don't really capture the colors of the jackets, so I elected to make his jacket have a tartan pattern; tartan garments such as coats, jackets, waistcoat and breeches were often signals of Jacobite sympathy.

Duncan Mcgregor of Dalnasplutrach-This Highlander also wears breeches, his plaid simply wrapped over his shoulder like a sash. He still wears the iconic blue bonnet and carries the classic arms of broadsword and targe.

Keppoch-This may very well be a sketch of the Jacobite officer Alexander MacDonald of Keppoch, 17th Chief of the MacDonalds of Keppoch, who was killed at the battle of Culloden in 1746; if not, it is almost certainly one of his men. I drew "Keppoch" as a middle-aged man, and decided that what looked like baggy shorts was likely the artist's rendition of the belted plaid. He wears a blue bonnet, with the white cockade of the Jacobite army pinned prominently on the side. Like other well-off Highlanders, he carries a broadsword, targe, and pistol.

Mcpherson-This may be a sketch of Ewen MacPherson of Cluny, AKA "Cluny MacPherson," the Chief of Clan MacPherson, or it may be one of his men. In either case, the way his plaid is being portrayed is not easily discernable. Given his bulky profile, I decided to interpret the drawing as him wearing his plaid wrapped around his shoulders for warmth and belted at the waist to keep the voluminous folds tucked away, but not worn in the way a belted plaid typically would be. I decided to portray "McPherson" as an old but vigorous man, wearing a plain grey jacket but with tartan breeches and stockings and the iconic Highland sporran hanging in front of his waist for easy access. He is not portrayed in the original sketch wearing any kind of headgear, so I omitted that detail, but kept the pistol at his belt. He too carries the broadsword and targe of the affluent Highlander.
