Loki’s portrait

My beloved Vulture God.

Vulture’s Blue Path by CinderR0SE alternate color scheme version of my loki painting vultures path pt. 2
____________________________________
i can seep in, i can dry clear
and yes it would still be there
and no i couldn’t hold you forever but isn’t it drafty at night, alone in that canyon
with the wind of the mind dragging its debris- i wanted to put my mouth on you
and draw out whatever toxin… -but i understand there are limits to love here is a flower
that needs no water
it can grow anywhere nourished on nothing
and yes. poem “you with the crack running through you” by kim ad donizio
_________________________________ next painting in a series of kennings for loki, “Gammleið”, translating to vulture’s path; this is one of my favourite kennings for loki and this is part two of the painting series. in this i relate to lokis role as cremation fire and the stripping of flesh leaving bones in an action to release the soul. in reading his mythos it can easily be correlated with his eating contest with logi (wild fire who wantonly consumes while loki only strips meat and not bones) and his role in baldrs entire death process. this particular kenning really portrays him as a funerary god in this way and i chose to convey that in this image. i relate loki personally to all birds, especially birds of prey and vultures, and in this particular image i crossed how i normally paint him with several species of vultures (most notably in part 2, the cinereous vulture) from the eurasian area of the world (and the black vulture that resides near where i live and that i see often) for the overall look to him; i also visually made it a partial transformation which is a visual nod to the hawk cloak as well. 
i definitely recommend enlarging for details. XD __________________________________________

Love the friendship between Artie and Sandy, and love the "Hello, Darkness" anecdote.

In case English suits you better than French, there you go and if you want a video here's to you.

"In his memoir, 'Hello Darkness, My Old Friend', Greenberg credits Garfunkel with lifting him from the pits of despair and helping him to begin navigating life as a blind man at just 20 years old.

'He changed all of his habits to help me out', Greenberg said of Garfunkel. 'He would take me out in the City, walk me to class, help me fix my tape recorder.

'Most importantly, he would read to me regularly. He’d walk into the room and say, "Sanford, Darkness is going to read to you from The Iliad today", or "Sanford, Darkness is going to read to you today". I suppose he meant that, for me, his voice was emerging from the darkness.

Because he called himself Darkness, I decided that should be the title of my book.'

Sweet or what?

And Paul of course found inspiration in all of this beauty for one of his most wonderful songs, which is also pretty sweet to me.

The fact that this scene exists and IT isn’t just a rom-com between Bill and Mike is so tragic.

Beyond cute! 🥹

Fell deeds awake. Now for wrath, now for ruin, and the red dawn. Forth, Eorlingas!
