on Birch board
My thought was to do a historical image and I chose Boudicca as the subject since I really liked the story behind her rage upon the Romans and she is Celtic. The scene is when the Romans come to take her land and property after the death of her husband who was king of the clan. She was friends with the Romans, however that quickly changed when they stripped and beat her in front of the village. Her wrath came when the Romans raped her two daughters in front of her and the village! Here, I show her being confronted by the Romans and being quite confused and bewildered about what they are doing.

The final painting took about a week to complete. Thanks for looking!
