Samhainn
Thinking of fall and the strange, wonderful and lonely delight of it; the re-entrance of fire for warmth and comfort as cold sets in. Thinking of death and life reborn, listening to Loreena McKennitt, this is what happened. Scottish spelling I’m told. Correct me if I’m wrong.
Samhainn belongs to the following groups:
All Things Poetic, Artistic, Philosophical, Art Inspired by Dreams, End Times, Practising the Dark Arts, Spiritual Art, The Scots are Coming and Vibrant and Vivid Color Available for sale asGreeting Cards, Matted Prints, Mounted Prints and Framed Prints

Very nice, Nelson. Love your words – I am a pseudo fan of Loreena (just recently started hearing her music on my internet radio at work)
Nelson Campbell replied
Her voice knocks me out – it is otherworldly beautiful.
Nelson Campbell replied
And, most important…! Thanks for your feedback!
Mary Ann Reilly

Nelson Campbell replied
Thank you G.A. – I guess we all hope so much to move the viewer somehow – thanks for saying so.
Anne McGinn
Wow, Nel, this is amazing on so many levels. Its great art, # 1. I don’t how its done but it captures the essence of Samhainn beautifully. When the veils are the thinnest between the two worlds, when our ancestors speak to us with flaming tongues of fire. I am entranced by its symbolism and power. Wow.
Roddy Atkinson
Stunning work! So how many faces are hidden in there… or is that just me?
Nelson Campbell
Ha Roddy! – So you noticed – There’s a few different ones for sure! Thanks so much!
Soxy Fleming!
fire? heat? quite powerful
Nelson Campbell replied
Thank you so much Georgiana…
Gili Orr
Really strong image of fire… mesmerizing. Don’t know Loreena, but maybe I should ;-)
Nelson Campbell replied
Thank you so much for your feedback! She sings everything from folk songs, to her own unique, world-music-inspired compositions. A core favorite for me. If forced to recommend a starting point, I would say “The Mask and Mirror.”

I love these flame-like figures in their autumn dance. I love Loreena’s violin player (the playing, I mean). Very powerful work, Nelson, and thanx for stopping by my page :)
