IF • Legendary

March 13, 2009 · 13 Comments


Mythological places are "legendary places" from a relatively cohesive set of myths.

There is an ancient legend which warns that, should we ever learn our true origin, our universe will instantly be destroyed. Len Wein (American comic book writer)

If King
Arthur is all myth and no historical fact, then its academic as to
where the places actually were.
However if there is some historical fact behind it, then where did the legendary adventures of himself and his Knights of the Round Table actually take place?

    Magical and whimsical. Love the use of mixed media for this beautiful piece. Seems like we were on a similar path…

    Never mind King Arthur. I read your creative process and King Artur and his Knights of the Round Table won’t be able to do a quilt to cover a coffee table nor do what you have done. That is amazing!

    Darling, I’d say your ability to work magic with colors is in itself legendary!

Art Statement

When I take the time to look and to really see and to apply my "foolish" imagination, there are worlds within worlds within worlds to be discovered.

When I allow my eyes to be excited and fascinated and pleased at what they see, I begin a journey, inventing a path to the place I choose to go; and magic happens!
