A Painter's Muse
In ancient mythology, the Muses were nine goddesses representing the arts and sciences. Today, a muse is a person or force that serves as an artist's inspiration.
My painting, "A Painter's Muse," is both an image derived from my admiration for the art of Alphonse Mucha, as well as a symbolic representation of a muse to inspire a painter. Surrounded with an Art Nouveau motif of artistic tools and colorful butterfly ideas, she offers encouragement through a bouquet of brushes and comforting cup of tea.
