Artist's Comments

...something a bit different... experimenting with a textured surface and a more stylised, semi-abstract image:)

I spent last weekend in Madrid, looking around The Prado, including a Goya exhibition, and Thyssen galleries. Also saw a Mucha exhibition whilst there too... So all this probably influenced me wanting to do something a little different for a change!

My Fates are a composite of the archetypes from Greek and Norse mythology... they symbolise time; the past, present and future. In the Greek myth the past spins the thread of life, the present measures its length and the unknown future cuts it to an end. I made the cut thread and new thread link, to give a more positive cyclic nature to time. In Norse myth the three Norns do not spin, but weave the web of wyrd - the entwining fates of all humankind - whilst sat beneath the World Tree, which I included in stylised form.

Wasn't sure if I should put this up or not as it's darker and different to what I usually do, just an experiment really - I may work on bringing something of this image into my usual work:)

8in x 24in acrylic and ink on canvas, with a PVA and emulsion texture.

The gritty texture of the wood really gives Fates a feel of macabre antiquity. *dark777fairy uses well composed lines to transition our gaze and complete the scene. (Suggested by =elegaer and Featured by ^oilsoaked)

Wow! this is so different from your usual work.

It has such a haunting atmosphere and the textures work really well. I would definitely like to see more of this kind of thing alongside your usual beautiful colourful paintings :)

Thanks - I was very unsure to put this up or not, but I guess artists are allowed to experiment sometimes... it's alot darker than I usually like to go, but I would be interested in developing this style into something more polished and bringing some light and colour to it:) Thank you for commenting! :hug:
