Morgana by Maureen Bullis

Morgana by

Watercolor
Half sister to King Arthur, Morgana was portrayed as an evil sorceress. But was she, or did she just refuse to bow to the wishes of men? Painted in watercolor, her red hair and Celtic jewelry attest to the Welsh origins of the Arthurian legends form which she sprang. She is a strong female figure.

    ooh, yes, i immediatley remeber her name from The Mists of Avalon. She is indeed a strong character and you have captured her mysticism too.

    Thank you. I often think about the way women sometimes appear to be evil in mythology when perhaps they were just strong.
