Acrylic painting 24x18 inch 61x46 cm
The sun is setting in the west as the moon rises in the east, the folk are dancing around the fires. In the background the musicians play sat beneath the Phallic tree.

Ash Ogham, Niunn

Watercolor and pencil.
After reading The Apple Branch by Alexei Kondratiev I thought about doing a series of paintings combining the ogham with the Song of Amairgen. This is the first one I did. Unfortunately commitment to finishing my degree has taken up a lot of time, so the rest are slow in coming.

[Magrathea]

PLUTO, based upon the Poe story...the black cat. It's painted with acrylics on textured paper, measures about 16"x12". Hope you like it

here's my entry. it's an icon. i painted it several years ago and it really took hold of me. i realised as i was painting it that it was quetzalcoatl, but since my knowledge of him was so superficial and i was only infatuated with the outer imagery of his myth, i was very humble about allowing myself to identify him as such. but he's stayed with me, and every now and then as the board it was painted on (old masonite) flakes a bit and the pain fades i repaint it to bring him back to life and up to date. he was a benign god, a son of venus, who taught high ideals and opposed human sacrifice, only to be coldly rejected by the wicked priests. now when i meditate with him, the highest ideals of the peace movement and positive thinking are the fruits of my meditation. i've learnt to love him from knowing him, as well as from the glitter and glitz of his gorgeous feathered serpent.
