Original artwork description:
This is an original painting of reeds beside a lake. Much of the symbolism and reverence for the reed comes from the celtic storytellers and later the Welsh bards. In 'The Book of Taliesin', Taliesin was found floating in a basket woven from reeds by Elphin, who was his foster parent. Similarly used in the Old Testament story of Moses in the Bullrushes.
Reeds were guardians. The stems were trimmed to form a pipe, and the poets would retell their legends of heroism, romance and spirituality to the evocative sounds of the pipe.
This unique painting is created with acrylic paints and marbling inks on canvas. It is strung with picture cord, and signed at the back.
Materials used:
Acrylic paint, marbling inks
