Not your ordinary knot

Having used Celtic knots in so much of my work I decided to make the knot the work itself. I have designed knot designs that stand on their own, but more often I use them to accent other subjects. When I first began playing with this idea I intended to paint in the knot with a landscape. Which ended up looking like a knot painted shades of green, brown and blue, so I decided a more distinctive subject was needed. The human face is very distinctive indeed. Done in watercolors it is 12 inches square and still needs a frame. It is one of my favorites so I hope you enjoy it.

King Arthur

Although I feel as far as myths go, this one has been slightly overdone, I painted this 11x14 watercolor inspired mainly in a romantic way, by the passing of an ideal as much as a man.

The End
