The festival Barque of Hathor part three – I’ve been working on the background scene over the past few weeks – building the canal, harbour and vegetation elements.
I’ve reused a barque temple that I made some years ago for a book called Egypt World and made some changes to make it more relevant to this scene (see below).

I now need to put some town houses in the background and again I don’t have to remake these from scratch because I’ve built them before (see below)
After these tasks are finished I will populate the scene with people and that will be a big job – I’ll keep you updated with progress.

ever cease to be amazed by the achievements of the Egyptians. Their ingenuity enabled them to do things which were never again paralleled for many hundreds of years. They not only survived in a hostile environment but thrived.
Thanks for doing this very interesting work.
I never ceased to be Amazed at
YOUR paintings if you remember
Along time ago I asked you if I could use one of your pictures for
My Gransons school project he got
Hight marks for it I wanted to send
You a picture of it but my computer broke down & I lost your
Email address but now I have it
Blessings Joseph
Excellent stuff. Explains further Ancient Egypt to the novice
At 76 years of age, I’m not quite sure how you create these mini-masterpieces via computer programs and your intuitive artistic talents, but I certainly appreciate your efforts. These glimpses of the glories of the ancient world are outstanding.
