A series of digital images reimagining the Celtic deer who appears near the end of my long painting ‘Druidica Blue: Deja Vu (Cave Art For the New Psyche).’ Here she is reimagined as a ‘double-deer on the river with a blue slash.’

Reimagining the imagined. The Celtic deer discovers herself in a geometric composition with a goddess manipulating a moon symbol, also from the original painting.

Reimagining the imagined. She is reimagined in two-dimensional profile where ‘dry sand is covering reeds and half-buried, disintegrated reed boats.’

Reimagining the imagined. She is reimagined in the centre (space) of the roll of paper where she began. I have previously posted the original painting, on a roll of mid-weight Italian paper (35’W X 5’H), with images and rationale: @ https://poemimage.com/2023/05/01/druidica-blue-deja-vu-cave-art-for-the-new-psyche/

Reimagining the imagined. I reimagine her being of the sun. In this composition two diagonal rods exit or enter a window in a dome. Diagonal lines connect her to the window. 

Reimagining the imagined. She is reimagined here within a defined space. Perhaps an open air temple. I include a section of the original painting.

Reimagining the imagined. I remember painting the curvilinear antlers and feeling the texture of the paper on the floor. In Photoshop I (somehow) created a ‘brass brooch in refracted sunlight.’

Reimagining the imagined. The Celtic deer experiences a sudden buoyant springtime: surging youth & chlorophyll. Excuse the double watermarks. In doing so much layering and relayering I lose track of it.

Reimagining the imagined. Three primary influences (Matisse, Cubism, cartoons) create the sensation of a distant seashore I will only visit in my imagination.

Reimagining the imagined. In this Cubistic image the Celtic deer seems to enter the edges of a reverberaton.
