Attracted right away to the painting due to the title. I've always been fascinated by the lesson one learns from the story of Icarus.
Beautiful painting and great detail. What you chose to portray in Icarus' position before taking flight is truly powerful and compelling. Nice to also see the progression of this piece of work.
Thanks for sharing!
Icarus is a theme I have painted quite a few times now. The story and the motif has inspired countless people before us, and likely countless after us.
Thank you @offoodandart!
