TWO CELTIC WAR DOGS
|
|
|
|
My Two
Celtic Dogs were the first production piece of my Celtic Art collection. I
drew them for my friend Halldor of the SCA (Society For Creative
Anachronisms). I had a blank sheet of paper before me and asked, "What
should I draw?". Halldor said, "How about two Celtic Dogs wrapped
about a wagon wheel biting each other's necks." I thought for a moment
and said, "Six or eight spokes?". The result was this piece
featuring two Celtic War Dogs rather than Celtic Hound Dogs (war dogs have
shorter noses.) The green and brown study was my original color choice, but
I also did a red and black/gray study to add a little variety to this
design.

TWO CELTIC DRAGONS
|
|
|
|
My Two
Celtic Dragons were the second piece in my Celtic Art collection. I wanted
to spilt a circle along its equator and create two very
different looks for the top and bottom hemispheres. I drew the two Celtic
Dragon heads in profile looking toward 5:00 and 7:00 respectively. They are
each breathing curls of Celtic Spiral fire. The Celtic knot in this design
begins with one head and curls about until it exits through the other head.
Currently, my Blue-Black and Red-Black Celtic Dragons are available in fine
art prints. I've retired the Purple-Blue and Yellow-Green Celtic Dragon
design.

THE CELTIC WOLF
|
|

|
|
My Celtic
Wolf was my first true Celtic Fusion piece. I saw this design clearly in my
mind's eye before I began sketching. I knew I wanted to transform the iconic
"southwestern" wolf pose we all know into a Celtic Wolf design, so
I began by sketching the wolf's outline and then adding Celtic knots to form
the wolf's features. I then placed the Celtic Wolf against a Celtic Spiral
Moon. I could have rendered the moon in a solid Celtic knot, but moons are
soft and subtle, and Celtic spirals lent themselves much better to the
study. Keeping the moon in a Celtic spiral motif allowed the Celtic Wolf to
stand out much better in the overall composition. The Celtic Wolf is
available in every color you see here except red, which I've retired from my
collection. The Celtic Wolf in blue and the Textured Celtic Wolf are two of
my best selling pieces.
