This is a painting and drawing I made in 2003 or so... it´s wet-on wet with crayons and aquarel colour.
And that´s a sketch I made after the dream I had after too much snails;-), and NO, I did NOT eat them.
It has a place in my personal fantasy (?) mythology, the "tree of life" of the Dhiudha na n Dhuodhai and Dhiudha Horoidw. ? because I sometimes ask myself if there might be more to this.
Es ist der Baum des Lebens. Drei Kessel der Fülle, die überfließen vor Inspiration, drei Blicke, drei Räder des AOUEIn. Vier (eigentlich sechs) untergeordnete Räder der Kraft, und "der flammende Scheitel". Aber all das ist nur intellektueller Kram... Wurzel und Krone sind alles, was einen Baum ausmacht. ;-).
Those are the adventures of Mr. Fimbulmyrk, in bushcraft and blacksmithing, mountainbiking and hiking, reenactment, writing, singing, dancing, stargazing and having a piece of cake and a coffee. Pray have a seat and look around you, but be warned - the forest´s twilight is ferocious at times.
