A little somethin-somethin’
(One session in, gotta let the paint rest and harden up before I keep going because it’s lifting here and there in defiance)

Update on paintings! My gallerist’s feedback was that it’s hard to sell pieces with lots of loud pinks/magentas — which is cowardly but fair! The tall one WAS looking a bit vaporwave, and my gallery is in NC not Florida. And I like it even better now.
Egg tempera on panel, 24x24 and 24x36 inches.

The tendons and clinging hair on the skull were a last-minute addition and they instantly made it 300% more metal

Athene
Oil on panel, 12x16 inches
A intentionally peaceful Athene (Athena) — relaxed and at rest, her helm and spear at hand but not in use. Olive branches are scattered around, one tied to her spear. The inscriptions behind her are some of her various epithets in Ancient Greek. 🌿

Did a very little plein air (oil on copper)
Looks like a party on my palette but that’s from previous sessions, this one was 4 colors and about 30 minutes
(And don’t worry I see the couple of draftsmanship errors I need to fix, plein air purism be damned)

Anyway, mythology is neat! I love mythology and I love plants, and if you do too, you can find all 9 of my Greek mythology plant designs here in my Kickstarter for just a few more days!
It’s fully funded (yay!) but every share helps as we get close to the end. <3

It doesn’t take a stretch of the imagination to see what the form of a pomegranate suggests: a womblike fruit, filled with bloody seeds, it is logically connected with female fertility, and/or male seed. Because of this, it fell naturally in Hera’s domain, and also Aphrodite’s.

A thread about the Pomegranate design in my pendant and pin Kickstarter (which is now funded and ending in less than 3 days!).
The pomegranate is one of the most iconic plants from Greek mythology, thanks to our perennial fascination with the story of Persephone and Hades.

Hey y’all, I’m running a kickstarter~
Real-world flowers and fruits from Greek mythology, in beautiful wearable designs. Only 3 pictured here, but 9 in total! I'm really excited to bring them into the world, and I hope you love them as much as I do. <3
