New Art: Prometheus (Greek Mythology Oracle)
Have been madly busy. Working on website(s) and painting, and catching up with everyone at the Mind, Body, Spirit Festival. I'm finding that time is of a premium at present.

Prometheus is completed. There are a few things that I muffed on this one, but I'm not going to beat myself up over it. I don't have time.

For those who are curious ... I forgot the nipple, and won't risk painting it on over the many layers of paint that make up his skin. Real bugger that, but again, nothing to be done about it at this point, especially when I like the overall painting as much as I do.

But here he is ... Prometheus, the fourth titan card, representing Sacrifice. Prometheus gifted humanity with fire in the form of a star from the heavens above. In retaliation, Cronus sent a giant eagle after him which rips his liver from him on a daily basis.



Title: Prometheus
Size: 8.5"x11"
Medium: Acrylics and Coloured Pencils.

....he doesn't have pupils. if someone really pitches a fit about a lack of a nipple, they're looking waaaaaaaaaay too hard.

he's so strong looking, determined... and that hand is beautiful :)
