Life Book Page 2 - Inner & Outer Goddess Archetype
This is page two of my Life Book. Our assignment was two identify two goddesses who portray our qualities. (January is the month of the goddess.) I made my page a foldout page on 140 lb watercolor paper.
Gaia is on the outside of a foldout page because she is my "outer personality" and when opened, Fauna is on the inside as my "inner personality." Then light in the darkness on the back side of the front page where I will write my description. Fauna was sourced by the wonderful artwork of Katrina Sesum.

love Fauna... an absolutely stunning piece of work, Nancy.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kaere. I posted individual photos of the two goddesses on Pippa's urging. Now you can see Fauna more clearly.
DeleteAwwwwesome, so much better bigger, I can zoom in and see so much more detail as I posted on FB, stunning, love this so much!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Dear Pippa!
DeleteThis is absolutely amazing Nancy. Love your work.x
ReplyDeleteThank you for coming to the blog and viewing it!
DeleteOkay Nancy, with the large risk of sounding really strange....I wish i were a tiny mouse in your pocket to watch how you create such a beautiful work of art. Such a feast for the eyes! I didn't know that my birthday month is the "Month of the Goddess" (: I can't wait to see what you create next. Thanks for being so kind to this "newbie". An answer to your "pininterest" question, I've had several invitations from friends....but just now joined. One problem..I don't actually understand it. I haven't taken the time to really check it out...but thinking I may need a tutorial from a friend. Once again, SO creative and inspiring and just plain lovely.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Barb. I did not create these images from my head but went from images I found on the Internet.
DeleteThree more days until your birthday! I'm glad you joined Pinterest. I'll warn you, it's very addictive. Ha! I would be more than happy to talk you through it via Skype. Once you know where to go in it, there is so much to see!
Wow. These are WICKED cool. I never use that phrase...but it's what came to me when I saw these goddesses!
ReplyDeleteThank you for viewing my work and leaving a comment, Annie!
DeleteBeautiful use of goddess energy for this piece. I was really stuck by how Gaia's eyes are closed for the outer personality and Fauna's are wide open and engaging for the inner personality.
ReplyDeleteJo, thank you for noticing that. I did not see that symbolism. I'm going to have to think about this for a while. Thanks!
DeleteInteresting work. And never thought to take an art class on line!

Hi Nancy ....I saw your Goddesses on Lifebook ...just wanted to say what a vibrant , fun style you have . I'm too afraid to even post my first project on my blog LOL ....one of the main reasons I'm doing LIfebook is to free up my work as I'm quite a traditionalist oil painter ...soooooo hard to free onesself from that . But viewing your work gives me hope !
ReplyDeleteCheers

Thank you for your comments! Your work is lovely! I totally understand where you are coming from. I've always done traditional watercolors. I suggest starting a new blog that is just for play. :)
Deletewow Nancy! I was just checking the CDL projects page and found this new post.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely adore the paintings and the theme, keep up the good work!

Thank you, Omar, for checking my blog and for taking the time to post a comment!
ReplyDeleteWonderful Goddesses !!! Both of the are stunning!! Great work, Nancy
ReplyDeleteThank you, HD, for visiting my blog and leaving a comment. I really appreciate your praise.
DeleteFantastic work Nancy :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Becky! I had fun doing these two pieces.
DeleteI came across your blog and I wondered how you can teach courses to students when you're clearly copying other people's work?! http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HueIqYWAjA4/TyQsKAQY-oI/AAAAAAAAAJo/ZgE5xUzhVyc/s640/IMG_2683.JPG is on your blog as part of a book you're working on and https://journeyingtothegoddess.files.wordpress.com/2012/12/383939_10150435717071962_572800503_n.jpg?w=378&h=522 is the original work by Katrina Sesum.
ReplyDeleteThis is straight up plagiarism and completely unacceptable for any artist, let alone someone who's holding residencies and teaching graduate classes.
Hummm... not enough nerve to put your name, huh? I don't teach art; this is my personal art on my personal blog. I would have cited the artist if I had had the name but I didn't. Thank you for providing the site. Actually, copying art is an age-old acceptable way to learn art.
DeleteGreat and that i have a keen offer: When Home Renovation house renovation and design
