Ancesteral Realm - Limited Edition of 50 Print

Inspired by a strange experience I had at the ancient burial mound called 'Wayland Smithy' in Wiltshire, UK. My family and myself visited the ancient site on the afternoon of Halloween. As the children played above, my partner and I entered the mouth of the tomb and started to film the dark interiors with our phones. Only visible through the lens was a sea of orbs streaming out of the tomb, it was breath taking! It felt like our ancestors were right there making their presence known to us, it was frightening but also reassuring. The piece started out as a pencil sketch, which I later worked into using an apple pencil and digital painting applications. This allowed me greater freedom with colour and opacity. I then super imposed a Druid and a Witch from a photo taken in Oxfordshire in the early 1900s. The finished piece was then embellished with Ink. Ancestral worship through art.
