The Hero in the Mountain   8” x 10”

Oil/ Acrylic by Melinda McCarthy 2006

In many cultures and legends there is often the hero who will one day rise again to help
his people.             
Often depicted as hidden away sleeping in a mountain, some stories tell of a sheperd
(or similar figure) stumbling across the hero and being told that only when the birds
 stop circling the mountaintop, will it be time for the Hero to return.
