I have many dreams of the Newgrange, and this was a strange Cailleach seemingly a Healer of sorts from a far away land, and she wore Amber jewellery and was very beautiful. So I tried to paint her essence as she was studying and engaging with the spirals and megalithic art of the stone.
I added an Amber crystal and a little Mulberry root paper more as a shawl or veil effect rather than as a cloak. There are also small Amber beads embedded into the stone .
