Persephone
A new painting..
my dear ones, was started last week...
she is Persephone...
and she is bringing back
I have a lot of decisions to make about her..
her halo.. her hair and I know she will have tattoos
but where and what I have yet to determine..
I will also decide about the flowers..
which are summer and which are spring..
"You may not control all the events that happen to you,
but you can decide not to be reduced by them"
Maya Angelou
As always thanks for stopping by
and taking the time to listen to
my thoughts..
Ciao, Ciao!!

Tiny Book
Ciao gentle readers..
I have been working on a
large painting..
if you go to either
Facebook or IG
you can see a tiny snippet of
a video..
that we shot a few days ago..
The world wants us to hurry art..
to be productive and put a lot of art into the
galleries..
and the Art
says to slow down
and enjoy each stitch, stroke, color
and
piece as it finishes in its own time..
today is a snow day..
we are wam and cozy and hope you
are too..
C4N!

Freya

Freya, 12 x 16 acrylic on canvas |
I have always been intrigued by symbolist art..
so I have chosen to
create art that speaks to our universal stories..
all the tales of women, at once modern and antique..
I am going to start on the new painting soon..
Lakshmi..
to see Freya..

Thank you always for listening and looking..
you are so appreciated..

The Goddess Series
If you have been following me
for a few years..
maybe 17 perhaps..
you might remember
this image,
gentle reader..

Detail of New Freya, painting, acrylic 16 x 20 on Canvas |
It doesn't really matter.. what matters is that she is the first of a long
line of mythological female heroines that I want to create
we need to be reminded of our love..
our
Strength and beauty..
this is just a work in progress... even her face is not finished
but I am in love with this idea and and working on it daily..
it's a New Year
with so many possibilities
and I am delighting in it..
