Triquetra Paintings

In honor of St. Patrick's Day...here are some Celtic inspired paintings I did a couple years ago.
They look a lot better in person. They photographed a little funky, due to the metallic paint I used for them.

The triquetra, or trinity knot, is one of my favorite celtic knotwork images. I love its beautiful simplicity, plus the symbolism of the three-in-one Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

"According to legend, St. Patrick used the shamrock, a three-leaved plant, to explain the Holy Trinity to the pre-Christian Irish. " (from Wikipedia)

New Nubbin Sneak Peeks

Turquoise has become my new favorite color recently. And I have a thing for combining orange with turquoise lately. But it makes sense...check the color wheel...they're complementary colors. Well, orange and blue are complementary...and I consider turquoise a form of blue.

And I realize St. Patty's Day is coming up on us soon. So I've been making some green "Lucky Nubbins".

This shamrock took a lot more work than the typical heart (I cut out three little hearts and a stem). I wanted to do a four-leaf clover...but it looked crowded and funky when I was laying it out.
