Rhiannon - Early development of the Horse's tale




 Rhiannon


An artist needs to show their work around, sometimes in various stages, sometimes not.  All too often, we create our art as if we are brewing magic in a cave, away from curious onlookers, secret, hidden, safe.

Yet an artist's creations need to be seen, often from a bystanders viewpoint what I have created will have a very different emotional context that what I might be feeling at the time.  I have often pondered on how I will create something that to me is special.  I have laboured long and hard over a certain painting with my magical blood, sweat and tears yet nobody comments or mentions anything.  Then I may have thrown up something onto the canvas in a couple of days, a piece of work that I may not feel so attached to, those same people may love and comment all around.

This painting is called Rhiannon, after the Celtic Horse Goddess. has had various stages & this is one of them.  It is nowhere near finished but I wanted to share with you the Horse's tale, my tale in many ways, I am the horse that has to find her way to water all by herself and I make no bones about being as stubborn as one & all too often, we can cut our noses off to spite our face with this mindset!
