...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. Daily DeviationGiven 2008-06-11The 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.
