Asgard, home of Odin and the Aesir

This is an early incarnation of the majestic world of Asgard. In its early days, it is little more than a village. That's before Odin's adopted son, the shapeshifting orphan Loki, helps the Aesir turn the place into a walled fortress. Asgard is linked to Seven Worlds by the roots of the sacred Life Tree. The Rainbow Bridge provides an eternal pathway to the young land called Midgard-- the earth. (Peerless watercolors, gouache and colored pencil over graphite) (2003)
