The Wanderer's Map

My first little painting, for my previous blog. You can read about it in detail here

In brief, though, it could be a lighthouse in the dark, a village surrounded by a forest, a ship with a single light surrounded by the black sea or a vessel in space surrounded by darkness. It is the underlying mood of the human condition, as expressed by the Solar, the Lunar and Stellar.

Not sure what happened to make the image quality so hideous - when I find the original in my piles of frantically scrawled alchemical diagrams and forbidden tomes of forgotten lore and handwritten notes taken at local morris dances and defused witchbottles extracted from village houses at the request of my thankful neighbours and discarded paraphenalia used at simple rural rituals and half-finished embroideries found at the junk shop seeming to hold some inner secret &c, I will make a new copy.
