Goddess Athena Accompanying The Court Lady
Data:
Oil on Canvas
This simple picture depicts Goddess Athena accompanying a court lady from the Warring Kingdom period in China (around 300 B.C. or so). Originally I planned to paint the court lady releasing a bird as supervised by Goddess Athena, but I never got to that point. Then the great artist Oliver Benson painted over (May-June 2005) the painting; and he added a little owl instead (below). |
Check out the detail of Benson's Athena, too (above). Below is another oil sketch of Goddess Athena (2003): |
