Iseult in the wood of Morois Acrylic painting on canvas 70 x 100 cm November 2021
In Celtic mythology the Wood of Morois is where two legendary lovers, Tristan and Iseult, took refuge to escape the vengeance of King Mark of Cornwall. A wild, primeval place but, for them, a place of sanctuary.
"The two lovers wandered all winter in the depths of that wild wood, restless and in haste like beasts that are hunted. Their faces sank and grew white, their clothes ragged, for the briars tore them. But in the strength of their love, neither one or the other felt these mortal things."
