The Four Stags

Many creatures live in Yggdrasil, the tree in Norse mythology which links the worlds of the giants,men and hell.Four stags live among the branches nibbling its leaves.....


 
This work was originally lighter however I decided it required some changes.It's a canvas measuring 40 x 40cm layered with gesso and sand. Layers of acrylic paint were added in a variety of ways then acrylic ink dripped and dribbled.Soft pastel and silver leaf were used to highlight and finally wax was run down for added texture and depth. It now sits in a floating frame and looks three-dimensional-one of my favourites......
