Title: She Who Dwells Beyond The River
Medium@ Oil-on-Digital
Time: 40+ Hours (Over 3 months)
Theme: German Folklore
Finally, after three months of slow, intermittent painting, she is here; she is done! The painting of German Goddess Hertha or Erda.
The painting illustrates a vast German landscape of imposing mountains and a dense forest of all things wondrous, enchanting, and yes, even portentous (think about the many fairy tales which take place in such environments: both exciting but equally horrifying). A calm, soothing river runs through the heart of the landscape as Hertha sits on a rock, observing her White Stag - on whom she rides during the Wild Hunt. The snake is one of the animals which feeds Hertha in the land of the dead. The river acts as the liminal space between the realm of the living and the dead.
