This is the second harbinger of death piece that I made, showing a mythological figure who is bringing death.

This has a reference to Henry W. Longfellow's poem Paul Revere’s Ride, with my addition to it. It also has a reference to Mars, the Bringer of War.

I created this using GIMP 2.8.16.

I started a "something brown" piece when I made my "something blue" piece, but I didn't like how this one was developing, so I put it aside for awhile. I recently cut out most of the images that are now in this artwork, and used them to finish it to my liking.

I made a mythological figure who is bringing death.

This week I have the honor of being the guest host for Sunday Postcard Art and I chose the challenge theme of "Greek Mythology."

I love the variety of stories in Greek Mythology. One of my favorites is Orpheus and Eurydice.


The pen and ink drawing is Orpheus and Eurydice by Filippo Pedrini  (I covered over the woman's top.)

The red Orpheus in the foreground is from Orpheus, a general history of religions by Salomon Reinach  

The words in the foreground are from the poem Orpheus and Eurydice by Hugh Donald Barclay.  

The music notes are from La lecon Tyrolienne by Amédée de Beauplan 

The Greek writing in the background is from Orphica by Gottfried Heinrich Schäfer 

I created this using GIMP 2.8.14.
