Description
I am the spirit of all beasts wild and free.I run with the stag and soar as a sacred falcon against the shimmering sky.
The ancient woods and wild places emanate my powers,
The birds of the air sing of my sanctity.
Come dance and sing; come live and smile, for behold: this is my worship.
"The Earth does not belong to us; we belong to the Earth. This we know: all things are connected like the blood which unites one family. Whatever befalls the Earth befalls the Sons and Daughters of the Earth. We did not weave the Web of Life; we are merely a strand in it. Whatever we do to the Web, we do to ourselves." -- Chief Seattle

Finally finished it. Acrylic and ink on A3 canvas board. Given to my boyfriend for his birthday

A stunning piece I must say.. That's a Valknutr in his chest. That makes this picture even more spellbinding.

Thank you very much
I think you're the first to comment on my use of that symbol

You're welcome. It's not a surprise, given how esoteric and less-known symbol Valknutr is. How do you view it? Feel free to contact me via Notes, if you like.

Excellent - especially that face which is at an evil angle to draw faces at and still looks great.
Great colours too.

ha.. I know what you mean. Last time I tried drawing a face at a funny angle like that it took ages to get it looking even remotely human.

Janice that is an amazing painting. The color, the composition, the detail on the animals all great. I really like the fetus' in the skulls (and I've realized I don't know how to write the plural of fetus.)

Wow, coming from you that's such a compliment!
I was wondering if anyone would notice the foetuses (think that's how you spell the plural, its a funny word... 
I'm still trying to get over that whole "you can't paint" brainwashing job art college did to me, and just get on with it and try to keep pushing myself. This and Reverie Reality have kinda been a new begining for me, and I think I'm improving as I get my confidence back

I guess that's why I was always afraid to study art. I never wanted to learn what I couldn't do.
