Merlin’s Prophecy     8”x 10”

Oil/ Acrylic by Melinda McCarthy 2006

When King Vortigen tried to build a fortress on Salisbury plain, the ground shook and the
stones crumbled stopping it from ever being completed.  The King called upon Merlin to
seek his council.  Merlin had a vision of two dragons one red one white, in combat
under the ground.  He saw that eventually the white one would win, an omen (much to
the Kings displeasure) that Vortigen himself would be overthrown.
