Chapter 13: Attempts at art
These are pics of some of my paintings, created over the last 15 years or so. I do this just as an occasional hobby, but am untrained. The reproduction is not good as they are digital pics of photos, until I can borrow a scanner. Click on thumbnails for larger image.
Creation of the Universe
An early work, after seeing an exhibition by William Blake. Also inspired by Cream album covers : )
Bilbo, Buttons, Starling
Various animal portraits for friends and family.
Athene - goddess of light and wisdom
Birth of Athene
The Greek goddess was born fully formed from the head of Zeus, in full armour - OK, so I can't paint armour : )
