This bright blue pulls you in and the sheen makes you happy. There's a lot to look at here: this piece was inspired by walking through a bog and looking down into the water and the growth and wondering what was in there, and how mysterious it appeared. I added a chalice to the scene because I could imagined witches meeting there, and the chalice is a powerful magical object. A woman appeared on the chalice as I painted it. She seemed like a benevolent force, so I named the painting after her - "The Bog Queen" - and I hope that you see her as a power for good.
