Northern Lights - Armour, 1998,
oil on board, 84x68cm

This picture illustrates one of Nick's favourite books, Northern Lights by Philip Pullman. This was his first of many illustrations for this book. It depicts Lyra, the heroine of the story, the witch's goose daemon and the magical alethiometer.

Nick painted this for his A level course, and later produced a whole booklet of illustrations for other chapters as part of his art foundation course.
