Description Inspired by the hundreds of Celtic myths i've been reading and especially the song i can't stop listening to at the moment:

"My love is hidden from me
where the barley feels the rain
For the seasons turn above him
as his body feeds the grain

Who am I without him
Where am I but by his side
Will the seasons turn above me
With his body next to mine?

Spin the circle down
turn the seasons around me
Spin the circle down
'Til my love is beside me again

I can taste you in the water
sweet as honey to my tongue
I can hear you whisper through the barley
like a song as yet unsung"

"Spin the circle down" by Philip Riley and Jayne Elleson.

Dedicated to my late Great Aunt.
R.I.P Little Aunty Betty.




Technical Stuff
Well this was a challenge...(especially the sky)..but i managed it and can safely say that his piece was created using nothing but high quality brushes.

Wow!
Really good - it looks like a photo (that's how realistic it is) from those ancient times of myth and legend!
I am intrigued by the interesting pattern in the top left corner...
