#tbt to this little lady and her toad friend from the ‘Fae Folk and their Familiars’ series of small works I created for the ‘Magic and Medicine’ show at the Inverarity Gallery last year 😊

Here is a quick painting I did for the @monthofloveart art challenge (for the prompt ‘lies’ I am a little late!) This painting is about the legend of Mélusine who was a beautiful woman with a disturbing tendency to transform into a serpent from the waist down while bathing; it is the discovery of this nature that triggers calamity. As the story is most often told, the cursed maiden is discovered in the forest by Raymond, the Duke of Aquitaine, who begs her to marry him. Because she doesn’t want to lie to him she agrees on condition that he never disturb her on a Saturday when she bathes.
