Eternal Life

‘Who wants to live forever?’ Freddie Mercury

‘Eternal Life’ was inspired by The Craigends Yew which is a 700 year old tree which grows near to where I live. The yew tree is associated with immortality, renewal, regeneration, rebirth, dreaming and protection from evil. The Druids held the yew sacred in pre-Christian times and believed wands of yew would banish evil spirits. Drooping branches of old yew trees can root and form new trunks when they touch the ground, thus enabling the yew to seem immortal. The female figure embodied inside the branches represents mother nature, all powerful. The other human forms in the branches were not painted intentionally and I didn’t notice them until the painting was finished. I’m unsure about the significance of this subconscious occurrence.
