The flute player


I am terribly sorry for the lack of updates lately. Life has been too wonderfully busy. However, I have dug up some old work that for some reason I have never published. I shall slowly upload them. Here is one. Originally painted in 2012 for a friend who eventually didn't use it as originally intended. 

Tool: Acrylics on canvas
Size: A4

On harmberga


Her Hos sitiþ on harmberga
agl[.] drigiþ swa hiræ Ertae gisgraf
sarden sorga and sefa torna

Here Hos sits on the sorrow-mound;
She suffers distress as Ertae had imposed it upon her,
a wretched den (?wood) of sorrows and of torments of mind
