Hamlet at the elsinorian gates

Comments

A powerful painting Michael

Quite evocative of an aura being released from an old hamlet as though the body had been consumed in a fire and a charred fragment of the remains is observing the spirit rising up through the open ceiling.. evocative of whoever was dwelling in the Hamlet was being released from their charred remains. Kind of ephemeral like the earth alters but regenerates even after a drought or fire as what was consumed passes over into another form, and the formless reincarnates.

About the Artist

Michael Hanrahan

I love art but it's very much up and down as I go about my day to day life as a painter and often I really struggle to paint therefore I fall out with it. You're only as good as your last painting as they say. My greatest love is music and I prefer to write classical music for orchestra than paint…
