Lucy Meets Mr Tumnus - Edition (Paper)

Lucy Meets Mr Tumnus - Kerry Darlington

It began with a wardrobe, a snowy forest and a lamppost glowing in the distance. In Lucy Meets Mr Tumnus, Kerry Darlington captures the wonder of that first extraordinary encounter in C. S. Lewis's The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, inviting us to rediscover the magic of Narnia through the eyes of a little girl who believed in the impossible.

Having stepped through the wardrobe into a world she never knew existed, Lucy Pevensie finds herself face to face with Mr Tumnus, a charming faun carrying an umbrella and several parcels. With his curling horns, red scarf and wonderfully expressive features, Tumnus is every bit the creature of fairy tale, while Lucy's quiet curiosity and trusting nature make her the perfect companion for an adventure that has only just begun.

The pair stand beneath Narnia's famous lamppost, surrounded by a breathtaking forest of snow-laden branches and delicate winter foliage. Kerry's vibrant palette transforms the frozen landscape into a spectacular display of sapphire blue, turquoise, rose pink and golden light, creating a magical contrast between the icy woodland and the warmth of the friendship beginning beneath its trees.

In Lewis's original story, Narnia is a kingdom trapped beneath the White Witch's spell, where it is always winter and never Christmas. Yet this moment offers the first glimpse of something that even the most powerful magic cannot extinguish; kindness.

Although Tumnus has been instructed to capture any human who enters Narnia, his growing affection for Lucy leads him to make a different choice. Their friendship becomes a quiet act of rebellion, reminding us that courage does not always announce itself with grand gestures. Sometimes, it begins simply by refusing to betray someone who has placed their trust in you.

Presented as a Limited Mixed Media Edition on fine art paper, each artwork is individually hand embellished and finished with a protective varnish, preserving the extraordinary vibrancy and delicate detail of Kerry Darlington's imaginative composition. From the intricate frost-covered branches to the gentle expressions of Lucy and Tumnus, every element invites the viewer to linger a little longer.

With only 75 editions and 20 Artist Proofs available worldwide, Lucy Meets Mr Tumnus is a beautiful celebration of childhood wonder, unexpected friendship and the belief that even the longest winter must eventually give way to spring.
