This is a follow up to a recreational piece I did last summer of Beowulf and Grendel which I ended up using in my BFA show. I decided to go on with the next dramatic scene; Beowulf fighting Grendel's mother. My idea behind Grendel and his mother is that they represented the last in a lineage of an old, isolated shamanistic clan that still worshipped the Northern European pagan deities. Their continued survival and propagation (and monstrous appearance) has since depended on a combination of inbreeding and black magic. It makes for good motivation for me as the interpreter of these characters but I don't think I could instill all that in one painting. So I've dropped hints such as the burning alter which depicts the Venus of Willendorf and Grendel's body lying on a mound of the skeletal remains of his stillborn siblings.

I came across this while looking for a picture of the fight between Beowulf and Grendel's mother, so this was a perfect discovery. I find it a very good depiction of both the mother and the son, at fist I was a tad skeptical of whether it was really the famous battle, but adding Grendel in the corner was a great addition. This piece stands out to me more than all of your other pieces, it's very beautiful.
