The Barghest

Original painting 8" x 10" acrylic on acid free paper. The Barghest is the name of the monstrous black ghost dog who roams the north of England. This painting is my take on the black, chain rattling beastie. Here he is being taken for a walk on the windy moors by a ghostly Victorian boy in purple velvet.

The Barghest in progress. I spent a lot of this session trying to get the sky and moon and the far background established.

Here is my Barghest painting just begun. I put in some big blocky chunks of color.

All in the Well

Original 9" x 12" acrylic on acid-free paper painting inspired by an entry in W.C. Hazlitt's Dictionary of Faiths and Folklore. There is a short entry that names a children's game "All in the Well". This is a surreal and macabre interpretation of that entry. It's a little bit spooky and a little bit campy. A hapless young girl is the masked quarry about to be sacrificed to the tentacled monster in the well by her sadistic playmates. Creepy fun!
