Story For The Pole

I don’t have one. Not sure why. Looks like serious drama though.
Sketch of “J” posing with a pole in a session with her over the weekend.

12”x 18” ink, oil sanguine and chalk on craft paper

  1. Bonjour cher Anthony,

    Dans votre dessin on ressent une force inébranlable... Un visage très expressif...
    Joli travail... comme d'habitude !

    Gros bisous 🎀

  2. Dare I suggest one?
    The moment I laid eyes on this intriguing sketch, I thought, "The Mists of Avalon"...and perceived her as one of the Nine Goddesses, rising up out of the mist!
    The pole in her hands suggests she is traversing the Abyss on the Barge of the Dead - maybe even transporting Arthur's body there for safekeeping, until he rises again...

    Sorry, I'm probably getting carried away again!!
    But this image really is SO powerful for me! :))

    1. I thought you would find the story. I’m a little rusty on “The Mist of Avalon”. Will have to do some catching up...
      Thank you

  3. I see her more as the woman with a paddle... She's charismatic kind of...

    1. Or at least maybe in a canoe or raft poling herself along.. A paddle works though.
      Thank you
