Frasers Ridge

Finally, some more fan art for Diana Gabaldon's Outlander novels! I love Jamie and Claire, and when I read this scene in one of the books, I had such a clear idea of it in my mind that I had to do some art for it. It's not 100% accurate to the description in the novel, though I can't remember exactly what book it was in, or where...

**Slight spoiler warning**

I do remember, though, that this is the scene where Jamie and Claire are traversing the backwoods of North Carolina, looking for a place to build their home. Jamie finds what will soon be called Frasers Ridge, a place dotted with wild strawberries, the fruit having personal meaning to him in regards to his surname. Claire is only supposed to be wrapped in a cloak, but the pose I wanted was very difficult to find in stock, so I settled for the sitting fully clothed. Also, I know her hair should be more curly. Sorry I am assuming Jamie was in his hunting plaid, which is why it's sort of a greenish brown. And I think it was morning in the scene, perhaps later in the day. Either way, I hope people like this and it inspires people to read (and reread) these incredible books!

EDIT: Thanks to those who told me where this scene is; Drums of Autumn, page 257.

Comments are always appreciated!


****Question: What do people think of the shadow under Jaime? I just noticed it looks kinda bad...which way should it go? Thanks!
