✨New Art//Guinevere (Arthurian Lengends)

Guinevere, with a spirit as fiery as her red hair, ruled beside King Arthur. Her beauty, charm, and wit were known throughout Camelot. Yet, even as Camelot flourished for a brief time, the world was too small and restrictive to contain her passions. Torn between duty and desire, her eventual affair with Sir Lancelot was the nail in the coffin to turning the tale of Arthur, Lancelot and Guinevere into a tragedy.

Hi hi lovelies!

Apologies for a slightly slow start to the month! I was at the vet over the past few days because Miso has been having some issues, and emergency vets take a lot of time since you never know how long you will be there! Fortunately, Miso is doing better now on some medication, though we are still going through the process of learning what exactly is going on so that he doesn't have to always be on the meds!🤞

ANYHOO! let's talk about this piece! GUINEVERE! ❤️️

I had a period in my teen years where I was REALLY into Arthurian legends and yet I have never done any art re-imaginning the figures from those tales! Well, I would like to change that!

Guinevere is a figure that I feel so conflicted about. I may need to brush up on the original legends, but in my mind, she truly loved Arthur, but then why did she end up cheating on him with his right-hand knight and best friend, Lancelot? Did she fall more in love with Lance? Was it something that was just fun and thrilling?

Where Arthur is thoughtful and controlled, I always imagined Guinevere to be more expressive and firey. I wonder if she felt that her role in Camelot had gotten restrictive and ... well, boring? It's something I will be working out in my own head as I work on these Arthurian artworks. After I do some portraits of Lancelot and Arthur, I hope to also do some pieces of them together.

Anyway, I hope you like how this piece turned out!
