Slowly, Slowly, Like the Turtle Winning the Race
by Steven McCabe
It is finished. Druidica is 33′ X 5.’
April/May, 21 – February, 22.
The title Druidica references the theme of the work. I considered calling the work Druidica Blue: Deja Vu or Druidica Blue – Deja Vu: Cave Art for the New Psyche.
The final section is dream-like with shape-shifting and a sense of the unknown permeating the visible.
Please excuse my iPhone 7 camera. For now this is the best I can do. The colours are far richer in person.
Plan:
I will promote this work shortly. iPhone photos will do for now.
Photograph top to bottom with details from each section.
Write up a short statement. And email the document
to curators, museums, art gallery departments, etc…
I almost forgot, there is a second Druid:
If you have any specific ideas re my plan please let me know: stevenmccabe.art@gmail.com
Thank you for reading and viewing.
My great-grandfather hailed from Tallanstown, County Louth, Ireland.
I thought of him while working on this.
I never met him.

Thank you for your kind words Elvira! All best from here! Steven
You are welcome Steven.
All the best too!
So colourful blue and beautiful, you are very talented and patient.
It is so amazing. Really like it.
Greetings from the beautiful Rhine-Highlands / Germany….
Rosie
Thank you for your kind and generous words, and good morning from downtown Toronto. Perhaps not as beautiful as the Rhine-Highlands! All best from here, Steven
Thank You, Steven! 🌼🌼
Druidica looks to be spectacular from these cell phone shots. Nine months of work – you must feel good that you’ve finished, or at least come to the end of the paper roll (is one ever fully finished). I can’t wait to see it in all its mysticism, colours, patterns, figures and glory!
Thank you so much Brenda for your generous words. Yes I’m glad to not crawl on the floor anymore. 🙂 As you say the roll ends… and hopefully the work continues in the mind/eye/hearts of viewers – somewhere, somehow. I do hope you are able to see this with good lighting and presented perfectly. Nice kaleidoscope of descriptions in your final sentence!
How about a private showing for a group of friends… we could figure out a good place with enough space to meet.
Thank you for this idea Brenda. It’s a good thought and appreciated consideration! I need to spray it in the nice weather…with Golden archival varnish….too bad I don’t have a big gallery that wants to do that for me. Is dying to do that for me. 🙂
Hi Brenda, Thank you for this thought & thoughts. Interesting descriptions! I appreciate the images!.
Hi Steve,
A truly amazing work. I am dying to see the whole thing.
I hope we can get together.

Thank you Pierre for this evaluation. I’m glad it seems amazing to you. I remember when I had just started and showed you the first photos and you said, (in an understated manner) ‘This could be impactful.’ 🙂 I do hope so my friend. Let us connect soon. Spring is around the corner. Or maybe the corner after that. I miss our conversations about art.
