PicturePhillip's pencil design.
PHILLIP ODDEN, NORSK WOOD CARVER, sent me his pencil design for the two Viking carvings on the frame for the Viking Family Portrait painting. Refer to an earlier post describing the frame design. Phillip says, "I made the design in the Jelling Style with a date around 980 AD."

DEFFINITION OF THE JELLINGE STYLE
The Jellinge Style is a phase of Scandinavian animal art during the 10th century. The style is characterized by markedly stylized and often band-shaped bodies of animals. It was originally applied to a complex of objects in Jelling, Denmark, such as Harold Bluetooth's great runestone, but later research categorize them as Mammen style.
