My new Viking Art painting for my Norse Mythology series Fateful Signs, "Vidar, God of Vengeance" was a complicated painting to finish. As you can see from the initial drawing to the final painting I made a lot of changes. I'm very happy with the results, but this painting reminded me of the importance of getting things planned out on the front end of a painting. Making massive changes in oil paint, is not the easy way to go!
