Morthond 12-08-2020 (01-13-2021)
14.5 X 11 IN
Acrylic on Painted Wood Chassis
This painting has a bit of a story behind it, along with the title. I had made the chassis a while before the event that happened which changed the course of my day and this painting. I don't really like telling stories like this because it sounds like I'm bragging about something nice I did. But I have yet to really tell many people about it. On the night of the 8th of December. I had went to the mailboxes and on the way there, I passed by a cat that had been laying on the sidewalk and making bad sounds, on the way back, I peeked at him and he really didn't sound good at all. So I went back to the house and grabbed a towel so I could pick him up and bring him into our home so he wouldn't have to freeze while waiting to die. It was such a heartwrenching time that it's still hard to talk about it. I won't tell the whole story here, but once back home, Mom and I cleaned up the area where he had been and we went back to our normal day. As I was in my room, I began thinking about something else I could do to make sure he was never forgotten about. And so I decided to make a dedication painting for him. I called it MORTHOND, as he was the name of a warrior in the movie Circle Of Iron that gets messed up in a fight and needs the hero of the movie to help him die. So now and forever to me his name will always be Morthond and he fought the good fight. He'll always be remembered.
The second date is the date I finished the painting.
