Qingniao - Blue Bird Oil painting and embroidery on canvas 61cm x 61cm £610 Who appears in Chinese mythology, popular stories, poetry, and religion. Qingniao is especially regarded as the messengers or as otherwise serving the Queen Mother of the West Xi Wangmu. In some sources, three-legged Qingniao carry her messages; in other sources, a single one-legged Qingniao fetched her food. In some versions, three, sometimes three-legged, green birds brought her food: these seem to have some similarity with the Three-footed birds believed to reside in the sun. The Qingniao are an important motif and frequently depicted in myths regarding Xi Wangmu and her Western Paradise, which is generally located on the mythical Kunlun Mountain. . . . . . . #femaleartist #oilpainting #portrait #contemporarypainter #painting #art #emergingartist #figurative #fineart #oilpaint #portraiture #contemporarypainting #todaysartreport #newpainting #Bluebird #myths #Qingniao #instaart #artforsale #embroidery #walthamstowresident #artstudio #textileartist #artforsale #newpainting #mixedmedia #fiberartist #iridescent

When they were three, the Moirai were: Clotho (/ˈkloʊθoʊ/, Greek Κλωθώ [klɔːtʰɔ̌ː]"spinner") spun the thread of life from her distaffonto her spindle. Her Roman equivalent was Nona("the ninth"), who was originally a goddess called upon in the ninth month of pregnancy. Lachesis (/ˈlækɪsɪs/, Greek Λάχεσις [lákʰesis]"allotter" or drawer of lots) measured the thread of life allotted to each person with her measuring rod. Her Roman equivalent was Decima ("the Tenth"). Atropos (/ˈætrəpɒs/, Greek Ἄτροπος [átropos]"inexorable" or "inevitable", literally "unturning", sometimes called Aisa) was the cutter of the thread of life. She chose the manner of each person's death; and when their time was come, she cut their life-thread with "her abhorred shears". Her Roman equivalent was Morta ("the dead one").

Moirai- sisters of fate Clotho, Lachesis and Atropos They controlled the mother thread of life of every mortal from birth to death. They were independent, at the helm of necessity, directed fate, and watched that the fate assigned to every being by eternal laws might take its course without obstruction. Both gods and men had to submit to them.
