Original Art by Mark Sarmel

Early was the morning and many was the day that Mak the Yak toiled away.
He arose to carry this from here and that to there.
When he was young he moved fast, but when he got old, he moved slow.
He was a good friend and his family loved him so.

After many years Mak was set free,
for his labors were complete.
As he moved into the great mountains his light softly shone
and with his one good eye he turned to look upon his family’s home.
And with a low moo,
he rose into the sky
and joined the great herds,
as all good creatures do.

Mak the Yak is a 16″x20″ acrylic painting on Arches Watercolor paper.

About the Artist

Mark Sarmel

As an artist Mark works under the name Mark Sarmel. Mark’s work often deals with diverse people and cultures. By mixing mythologies from numerous cultures and re-presenting them in a hybrid form he seeks to reflect the multicultural world he sees around him. This imaginary world is filled with characters that are at first atypical, but ultimately analogous to the real world. He seeks to present these characters in heroic portraits that act as spirit guides for the viewer.
