Goddess of the Inner Flame

I finished my goddess painting! I'm so pleased. The wonderful inspirations from Tam and everyone taking the M3 course on Ning really make me happy and creative. Here she is in all of her Klimt inspired glory.

The canvas is a 20x20 inch square and was hard to photo up close and get it all in. I did my best. I may take some outdoor photos later. Here is a close up of the texture. It is so lovely! I used my homemade texture paste (gesso and baking soda). It has a wonderful golden gleam too.

I also wanted to share a close up of her face. I worked so hard and with Tam's suggestions managed to draw the best face I've ever done. I can't wait to play with this more. Next week we are starting work on angels. I've already done one from the Art, Heart, and Healing course so it should be fun. I think we are working on wood next week! So find your own inner flame goddess and be who you want to be.

I really like what you did with the dress here, the collage and then the doodles. Inspiring.

This is glorious! I'm so envious of you taking this class. I'd be there with you if it was in the budget!

I know I'm supposed to comment on the OWOH post, but when I saw you did mixed media...well who could stop at one bite?

Hi, I wonder if I could ask you for a bit more information on this course? I love your goddess and I love the idea you gave about the home made texture paste, could you give me the recipe please? Thankyou for your inspiration!
