I'm so excited to share my newest painting with you which I created for the Bad Apple Artist Collective Auction "Ancient Egyptian Gods" starting today, June 27th at 5 pm EST at the BA Facebook Page! 🐪 For this painting I collaborated with the wonderful @vintage_egyptologist again who picked a beautiful title for her:
The work here is quite interesting, as the winged crown of the figure, the serpent, and flower evoke the images of the representatives of Upper and Lower Egypt. The figure also has blue skin, something that can occur for divinities in Egyptian art. […] However, all the attributes could be those of a goddess, and the one who comes to mind for the blue-green skin is Hathor, in her specific form in Sinai as nebet-mefkat, "Lady of Turquoise." I would call her "Hathor Lady-of-Turquoise."
For everyone interested in purchasing "Hathor Lady-of-Turquoise" the auction will be held on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BadAppleArtistCollective

The unnarrated real-time video of this Gustav Klimt inspired painting is currently exporting so it will be up soon for everyone pledged at the 10 usd level and above! I will also share a bunch of progress images with you today in which I talk more about the challenges I had with this painting (I had A LOT 😭😅) Btw the painting is huge! It measures 63,4 x 36 cm / 24.9 x 14.1 in and is one of my biggest watercolor paintings so far! 😍
