Caught by the Kelpie

Rain Approaching Hathersage Moor by Andy Hemingway


It has been a while since I've shown my face here, but I have good reason; I've been chasing the Muse through the rain. So much rain has fallen here for July that I'm beginning to wonder if I somehow slept through summer and now it's Autumn... but I don't care either way. I'm busy reveling in the rain and the newest form of my muse: the Kelpie.




I've a million ideas for a painting of this wonderful beast. There are many wonderful depictions of the Kelpie, and here are some of my favorites.

Now, I'm off follow my muse while I listen to a siren of a different sort...

  1. You have a lovely space here... and wonderful that you've been caught by a kelpie! That seems certainly worth missing summer over, to be honest. I hope you post your painting here when you're finished, I'd love love to see it.
