Bithiae, the Witches

Original 8" x 10" acrylic painting on thick, acid-free paper. The Bithiae. Witches with two pupils in each eye. Imagined here as Renaissance maidens attacking and ripping the throat out of a deer. This painting and others like it at My Good Babushka.

Bithiae. The Witches

Another day of progress on my witches. If you want to see the finished painting. It's Bithiae at My Good Babushka. 

Bithiae, The Witches

Kind of a slow, not very good day of work as I sort out this dress. Also, there is not very good light today.

The Bithiae

A little bit. Laying in some color on my Bithiae, the Witches, painting.

Bithiae

The Bithiae are Scythian witches that supposedly have two pupils in each eye. My Bithiae look more like elegant Dutch Renaissance maidens, I know, but I'm using artistic license because I want it to be pretty.

The Witch in the Eggshell

Started a painting combining some things I like, pictures from vintage cookbooks and weird folk beliefs. It was believed that eggshells must be thoroughly broken or witches could crawl into them and sail away. They may even inscribe your name on the inside of the shell causing you all sorts of bewitchment... bewitchery... headaches.

Witch Bottle

 

Work continues on my Witch Bottle. But you can skip ahead and see the finished Witch Bottle painting at My Good Babushka. Folk Tale Art, Chainmaille Jewelry, and Handmade Needlework.
