This is an initial piece that is part of a much greater work that will be a pictorial key to the Ogham. This represents the ogham Beith, and the God Ogmios breathing the first ogham into being.
The first slide is the image under development; I’m experimenting with a new technique, using colour pencils on coloured ground. I am continually surprised at the depth that colour pencil can achieve, given the right circumstances and patience.
