Description

Another mythical relic. Many people hunt for it, too, but it's a strange matter more than other objects. No one find it... if it exists for real. Is the "Holy Graal" the essence of life? I imagine it as a cosmic symbol of life rather than a material artifact, althought of divine nature. At the end, it may not be possibility of human beings to understand the real inner significance of this symbol.

Stunning. Plus I love the amethyst because it is my daughters birthstone.

I think this image is one of my favourites in your gallery. Probably the (more or less) monochrome aspect brings the painting even more 'together' than some of your other images. And, of course, the lady-angel is a real beauty!

Another contemplative and lovely image with a great color scheme, too. Excellent work, Whylma.

Superb creation with this angel and the Graal. But where is Perceval? lollll The Grail also has roots in the Celtic legends, with the cauldron of immortality, among others.
