Artist's Comments
This is my 2nd in a series of Celtic animal knot paintings that I've decided to do. This one I call "Celtic Dogs Keep Watch" and it features 4 intricately knotted dogs surrounded by equally intricate and colorful knots including a wonderful Celtic knotted bone I designed as I haven't seen a bone used in Celtic art(doesn't mean no one else has done it; it just means I haven't found any examples of its use). The dog is sacred to the faeries of Scotland & Ireland, there are many myths surrounding dogs & dog familiars & wars were often fought over them in mythology such as in King Arthur as well as dogs being a symbol of shapeshifters.

 reports, 1d 11h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community. |
