This is an interesting amalgam of a self portrait and a
portrait of the persona I assume when re-enacting.
I used various photographs of myself, as well as heraldry
and floral imagery from illuminated manuscripts in this painting, as well as
references to the three medieval re-enactment societies I have been a member of
over the years.
I decided on the title, once I observed that the bishop in
his vestments seems to be strolling through a garden filled with armoured figures
( most of which are also the bishop).
I painted this after I had completed a commission for the
sister of friends of ours a gift for their wedding anniversary. The painting
had to include references to all their various interests. I may blog about that
one at a later date!
Until next time
Adieu
