So here's an image that i drew that was inspired by a fellow artist here in Banff. He was talking about magic and the creation story, and he said that he once heard his grandma talk about how the earth came to be, she was explaining to someone that the earth came to be when a turtle rose out of the universe through what we know now as the ocean. The listener asked "well... whats under the turtle?" The Grandma replied "Another Turtle." the listener then proceeded to ask "well whats holding up that turtle?" The Grandmother replied "Another Turtle." and so on and so on, until she just stopped him and said, "Its just turtles, turtles turtles, turtles, forever!" haha, not sure if that goes into the magic category, but i found the story to be pretty magical!
Haha I saw that somewhere once... I need to figure out where. I thought it was pretty neat, too. I like the colours in this drawing! <3 So bright and joyous, just like a creation story should be!
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen your work in forever. This is a treat. Jill I love you for making an art jam where we can all chat and see work!
