Atemis, Hellenic goddess
While preparing to teach my watercolor workshop (People — Heads, Features, & Faces which starts to tomorrow at the Duluth Art Institute), I've done many watercolor studies and color sketches of men and women of all ages.
I love Greek sculpture and while researching, I fell in love with the strength, beauty, and dignity of Artemis, the Hellenic goddess of the hunt, wild animals, wilderness, childbirth, virginity, etc.
"Think of a mother's love for her child while you paint that subject, that is, think of the idea you want to give while you are painting." —Robert Henri.
