ARIES, THE SMITER

Gouache, inks and watercolour pencils on board, unpublished.

 

 

One of four paintings I did based on the zodiac but attempting a different take on the usual symbolism.

The Prince of Wands is the owl-rider,wearing a golden fleece and ram's skull and bearing a cone tipped wand (with the attributions of Will=Fire) and in the background is the lightning-struck tower, the rude awakening of birth.
