Oil/ Acrylic by Melinda McCarthy 2006
In February, these masks are worn, in a festivity to scare away winter and welcome spring as well as to celebrate the victory in the battle of Mohács.
Since doing this painting, I have visited this festival. It is three or four days of crazy antics, bonfires, music and dancing and wild masked creatures getting up to all sorts of mischief !
