Description
This is my depiction of the Celtic Goddess, Brigid.Although not a 'traditional' Triple Goddess, she is often shown as such. There were, in fact, 3 sisters all named Brigid - daughters of the Daghda.
Brigid was Goddess of nature-lore/herbalism, the hearth, childbirth/mid-wifery/fertility, areas of 'high-intellect' such as inspiration, poetry & wisdom, and of fire & forge...
She really was the original Deity for all occasions & and important aspect in the lives of the celts.

It is a rather neat piece, isn't it! But I think the structure & flow works in its favour...

Thankyou Marion!
I was worried that this piece was a tad too structured, but I think the balance of structure, form & flow has worked more or less in this piece...
Thanks again for your wonderful words

Thankyou so much!
Yeah, took me a while, but was worth the procrastination in this case... I really wasn't sure which direction I wanted this piece to go in initially. For what ever reason things just flowed when I sat down with it again.

Thanks Wendy!
I'm not sure that neat is a good thing. Sometimes I think I'd love to let loose & just throw paint at the paper, but I have a love of lines & line-work. I need to loosen up a little methinks, and explore the messy side of art more often
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Neat IS a good thing!!! Letting loose is too of course, it's fun. Though the cleaning up needs to be done after*hates that part*

I just love Celtic myth & legend. They're so rich & vivid...
I had a hard time deciding which deity to try & then how to depict her!
Spent a lot of time reading up on Brigid. She's a fascinating Goddess!

My goodness, that's stunning! No wonder you were talking about a really detailed painting
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, more detailed than I usually do anyways...
I've still got a long way to go before any of my pieces reach the *really* detailed stage! (I'm too lazy for starters
