Claddagh


"Claddagh"

Acrylics on acrylic board, 2008.

Artist's Comments-
This piece is based around a claddagh ring, a traditional Irish ring given as a token of love or worn as a wedding ring. The heart represents love, the hands respresents friendship and the crown represents loyalty. I painted this around the same time me and my then-boyfriend were discussing getting married. I also did a sketch before this painting and also another sketching done after this painting to reflect the actual design of my own claddagh ring (below).
