Arash

Another speed painting, to be honest I am seeing the painting for the first time as well, since we had a LOVELY sun today in London which beautifully shone ON my screen the WHOLE time, I almost lost my nerve
I finally decided the angel for my next real painting (which I have been preparing for by painting lots of mountains), which places some mountains below the horizon. Since I haven't practice such angle before I thought it won't be a bad idea to practice it.
Time duration: 40 minutes (I was interrupted by lunch )

Oh, almost forgot so the bow in the middle belongs to one of the legendary Persian heroes, Arash who, I am sure is loved by all Persians (including me, as a matter of fact my next real painting is gonna be him) and ... well I can't be bothered to tell you the whole legend so if you are interested here is a link [link]

Oh and the flag is an ancient Persian banner

Hope you like it ^^


تیر آرش را سوارانی که می راندند بر جیحون

به دیگر نیمروزی از پی آن روز

نشسته بر تناور ساق گردویی فرو دیدند

و آن جا را از آن پس مرز ایرانشهر و توران باز نامیدند.
