The reflection of the ravens' profile in the Celtic knot - nature in contrast to style - has given me a starting point for some new ideas. I like your work. Thanks - Dave

The knot was actually copied from an ancient design, Dave, to have had the slightest influence in another Artist's work is the highest compliment ever, thank you my friend

Nice work. Makes you wonder what Cuchullain was thinking. Of course, I always wondered that, anyway. You've really got to figure that any warrior who would insult a goddess of battle must not have too much activity in the brain box.

Ha ha ha Well said Karin, actually quite a few of these mythical warriors weren't really noted for their brain power, Cuchulain himself was basically a bit of a berserker! thank you

He'd pretty much have to be. Those have their place but I wind up wanting to yell at him when I read the stories! I guess if you can get annoyed with the main character that mean's it's a good tale, though.
