Not Excalibur

[Trier]

And not even a sword.

It is a magical cudgel to be wielded by St. Zilch.
Or . . .
It is a chance juxtaposition of the Duralar overlay I did in the Trufflecat series, with some erasures.
Take your pick. A phony ancient legend that I just made up goes with the cudgel choice.

Fun

some glare from the Duralar enhances things, I think.

.. seems we were both on the same bus that went over the cliff ...

I like your Diebenkornish blues and those spill-over edges.

Have we seen this before? Only now the hero appears tilting at ... must be power poles

Nope, you don't need the chicken holding the spear. Go back to the original.

Sure looks that way !

I'm going to try applying the time and distance in the air to a Frequent Flyer program.

Gotta get something out of it besides faint praise and insults.

Thanks Hermes.
Diebenkorn is one of my favorites as is Maxfield Parrish, and their blues are something I aspire to.
I'm glad you like the edges, because I usually crop the photo of a painting so that my usual sloppy edges don't show. But I like them, and this time I left them in to please myself only.

Hey ntl, yes, you have seen some of this before; as I mentioned in the post it was on the Duralar overlay that I made for a couple versions in the Trufflecat series.

I imagined the rough robed arm arising from the field holding a humble cudgel was the peasants version of the offering of the elite sword Excalibur by a beautiful female arm arising out of a magic lake.
I could go on, but explanation means a failure to communicate in the first place.
Good thing I only paint to please myself.

More nuttiness to come !

CHICKEN ?!!
I guess I deserve that for failing to make the fist holding the cudgel more robust and distinct.

You're right though, I am gong back to the original; but I will be doing more weird things with it, as I told our virtual studio mate, ntl.

I'm afraid I have damaged the Duralar by my erasing efforts which were not totally successful.

I like the dark blob thing holding the spear or whatever it should be, or not be. I see it as an abstract concept and like it there. It gives it an ominous balance for me.

Thanks Arty, you have really got the drift of where I was going, very perceptive.
I bet you a very good at understanding what the handicapped people with communication problems are trying to say.
