Hey there everyone! In Moonshine, we are learning about the story of the Celtic Goddess Maeve. She is a goddess of love, and was known to have an intoxicating effect on men. :0)
Anyhoo, you can read more about Maeve here, but the part of the story that I chose to focus on was the ending. Maeve and her husband had an argument about who had the most possessions. Her husband won because he had a magic bull, and Maeve did not. So Maeve set out on a mission to get a magic bull, and she got one, but she threw it into the cage with her husband's bull and they tore each other apart.
I don't like that ending! The thought of the two bulls killing each other is just not right! HA. So I rewrote my own ending, and made a page about it. My ending is written on the page...
I did the background first. Acrylic paint on the top part, and the bottom part is collaged bits of gelli printed deli paper. Then I painted the two bulls with watercolor pencil, cut them out and pasted them on top.
Here's a closeup of their faces. I feel better now, seeing them happy together...
I'm loving the Moonshine class, cuz there is so much to learn! I hope to get time to do two more art journal pages, before we move on to the next step, which is creating a painting!
