And Another!!

It's official.  I am addicted...to painting Goddesses!  The other day as I starred at the bare walls of my new dining room it occurred to me that perhaps I could do a set of paintings for that room.  Whilst taking part in Tam's M3 course one of the other artists drew a goddess in a beautiful pose that looked as if she were standing with the wind, her hair was flying out behind her, her dress too and she looked amazing.  The artist concerned wasn't sure but I suggested she looked magnificent and would look good as the Goddess of Autumn, with lots of amber and russet leaves about her in the wind.  I joked with her that she could do four one for each season and make a set.  That's when the seed was sown and I have pondered it since.  So last night I flicked through some photographic poses on the net and saw one I liked, then fished out a Klimt calendar that a friend bought me a few years ago and picked out some themes/styles that I thought would work with spring.  And so my Goddess of spring was born onto a sheet of A4!  Today she is being transferred onto a 18" x 24" canvas.  Lovely Man is off to play in the snow with his new friend which means I get a couple of hours in peace in my studio to play!  Woohooo!
