love with Ariadne at first sight and has
offered her a crown, represented by the
circle of stars in the sky. Titian echoes this
circle with his group of people. You can
draw an elliptical line through Bacchus’
red cloak, following his lower arm and
through the heads of the revellers, around
through the limb of a cow and back to
the cloak and you will now see why I have
shown those elements in my rather crude

3D representations (Figs 12 and 13).

Completed circles can help lead the

viewer’s eye around the painting. In the

following elephant scratchboard “Total

Protection” (Fig 14) I have used this circle

to do not only that but to also tell the story

of how these matriarchs are protecting the

young ones that you can see on the left

and right. Storytelling is a vital part of my

wildlife art.
