A pencil study for the 2025 oil painting the Blasted Heath, a take on Shakespeare’s Macbeth. Here, the three weird sisters (or three witches) ensconce a small boy who speaks riddles to Macbeth. The boy is an apparition who represents the true heir to the throne which Macbeth had taken by regicide. - Sean Layh
