Hello my friends..
As you know I am no longer watching my cutie-pie
Myles. And I decided not to go back to work, So
what does one do all day. Besides blog. hee hee..
I am taking a year long mixed media class
with Tam Laporte.. It's called Life Book.
Right up my ally!! MAYBE!!
You can see the button on my sidebar!
Our first lesson we were to paint a
Goddess that represents us..
No laughing at my painting.. I a pretty new to doing
faces and let me tell you I could tear this apart all on my own.
I would like to introduce you to
Goddess Euphrosyne.
If I was a goddess I would have loved to
have been her!

Goddess Euphrosyne.
If I was a goddess I would have loved to
have been her!
She was the Goddess of Good Cheer, Joy, Mirth and Merriment.
Who wouldn't want to be her. They say she liked to Drink wine and dance
with her triplet sisters..
It has been a fun class so far. At the end of the year
we will take all these pages and make a book!
I started out by sketching her and erasing her and sketching her
and erasing her.. after erasing her a million time I just
came to the conclusion this is how it was going to stay.
Then I used Water-soluble crayons for most of
this painting. I did use some acrylic for the hair.
So I am linking this to
A big thanks to Eva and Kristin
for hosting this fabulous party!
I just want so say thanks so much my sweet friends
for all your kind comment.
You all have been so kind
I really do appreciate it..
Till next time!
Hugs, Linda

It's a beautiful drawing and well done for doing it. :)
Sounds like a good life! Valerie
So FAB!!
you did a much better job than i. i cannot do faces...
This is enjoyment in life should be like, Linda! Your painting or drawing is fabulous! Such intensity in the eyes and the colors in the hair are wonderful. I am so glad you have found an outlet to learn that you enjoy! Have a wonderful day painting my friend.
Wow Linda, you did an awesome job! I really like her, and would love to have lips like hers! Happy PPF!
sounds like my kind of goddess!! usually these historic chicks are full of doom and gloom causing wars, opening boxes or some other such disaster but she's got a licence to laugh - I love it! And your depiction of her is fab - worth all the erasing for the final result, i'd say!

She does look like a goddess. It's a beautiful drawing. Well done!
How fun Linda, Sounds like a fantastic way to start the new year.
I think theres a little Goddess in all of us. Beautiful page!

Your goddess is beautiful. I agree that we all have a goddess within. It's nice to bring her out for the world to see. This is really a beautiful piece of art.
Don't be so hard on yourself Linda...Your goddess is absolutely fabulous!! Love her blue eyes and full lips :)
..and her wine drinking and dancing ways LOL!!
The artists we are never satisfied with our work, you have to expect that others tell you if it's good, not your.
Lovely goddess and very well done~ namaste, carol (Share the Creative Journey) Happy PPF
Linda, your painting is amazing! I would have no idea where to start with a project like that, but you aced this. What a lovely piece of art!
