Artist's Comments

I love this one. Why? Because the reference for the Zeus painting was my darling man. I love painting him. First it was Cronus, although the likeness was fairly 'loose', but for Zeus I decided to try for a closer resemblance and I succeeded.

I'll be keeping this painting for myself when the time comes and I can offer the originals for sale. This one is mine. My man, my love, and now, my God. *laughing* You should see the look of pride he's been walking around with on his face. I suspect the next time I ask him to pose for me he won't squirm as much.

Anyways ...

Medium: Acrylics and coloured pencil
Size: 8.5"x11"
Represents: The Father

Yes :) I have two Hermes paintings to do, both of which should be done in the next couple of weeks. :)

Breath of the divine.
She is the Mother of creation;
The fire that lights my soul.
She is me.

I love the work on the farthest-off arm...the one not closest to the "camera". :D And of course, everything is amazing. I really like your take on lightning. :D

I love the lightings behind and the thoughtful look of all of it. But what I really fancy most is the blue. I guess it is the first time I see a Zeus painting here he is not in golden and white but in a striking blue. If not a close look, one may think of Posideon, god of all Oceans, but the lightings leave no doubt it is the God Father of Gods, in Greek.
Well done! :)
