Moonset and Sunrise, for Mythology Show

Moonset and Sunrise is a watercolor painting that C. L. Peterson has done for the “Norse Mythology, the Muse” event at the Peninsula School or Art in Door County on October 1-November 6, 2010.

Details:

Norse Mythology, the Muse    October 1- November 6, 2010

Opening reception: Oct 2, 5-7pm Free and open to the public

Vision Statement:

In the exhibition, “Norse Mythology, the Muse,” 2- and 3-D artists are invited to draw inspiration from ancient Norse myths. Inherently imaginative in their explanation of natural events, myths encourage the storyteller/artist to literally put their unique mark on a piece, in this case through symbolic and figurative designs.

The art in the gallery will be enhanced by prominent displays of the myth narratives, adding further meaning to this exhibition.

Enjoy these pencil drawings.  It’s difficult to get the color/contrast correct with online media, but these images display detail, depth, and pencil stokes fairly well.
