Since I was a young girl I have been fascinated with the story of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. While Sir Mallory established the mythology of King Arthur, there have been many interpretations of the story in books, plays, and on film which have given some new light and creativity on Camelot's mythos.
The element I decided to focus on in my painting will be the fall and decline of King Arthur's court, when Sir Lancelot arrives on the scene and steals Guinevere's heart. It is the time when Mordred, the bastard son of Arthur, makes his claim to the throne and goes to war with his father. In the heart of it all is the mysterious druid, Merlin. What follows are my sketches and layouts for a 20" x 30" painting.
Here are my previous designs:
