A new one for my series of Terry Pratchett Discworld character...

A new one for my series of Terry Pratchett Discworld character studies: my favorite witch, and quite possibly my all-time favorite Terry Pratchett character, Esmerelda Weatherwax, “Esme” as Nanny Ogg calls her, and “Mistress Weatherwax” or “Granny Weatherwax” to those living around Ramtops. She is said to embody all three roles in a coven (maiden, mother, and crone), and although she’s always pictured as the last, in the book Lords and Ladies, we get a glimpse of just how badass she was when she was younger. So for this study I wanted to paint her as she was in her mid-fifties, out for a stroll through a mountain meadow with her favorite swarm, at a time when she earned the name “Aaoograha hoa” from the trolls (She Who Must Be Avoided).
