Big Eye Athena Minerva Greek Roman Goddess Sketch Art...

Here is my second sketch for my small version of the Greek goddess Athena (also known to the Romans as Minerva).  I think this is an improvement on the first one, but still probably needs some more work before I begin her as a painting...

Goddess Athena Sketch Art, 29 Faces Face 22 + Little Bo Peep Wishes you Happy Chinese New Year...

Here is a rough sketch that I did of a big eye goddess Athena (known to the Romans as Minerva).  I'd like to paint her, although she definitely needs a more refined redraw.  I want to do a series of large goddess paintings as well as smaller counterpart versions.  This would be for one of the smaller versions.  She is face 22 for the 29 faces challenge in February.  For 29 Faces, the challenge is to share 29 faces in the month of February...

Athena Minerva Goddess + Owl Sketch Art & Steampunk Harvestman Spider Website Update...

I think that this sketch of the goddess Athena / Minerva with her owl companion is very close to being ready to transfer to canvas.  I've been working on getting her face right, sketching various owls, combining the two...  Sometimes getting the sketch right can take me quite a while, but I think it's worth it to have a sketch that really works for me before I start painting...

Harvestman Original 5"x7" Painting, Open Edition 5"x7" Giclee Prints & Limited Edition Giclee ACEO Prints Here

Harvestman is of an opilione arachnid.  When I started the painting, I thought he was a spider, but I learned otherwise.  I think he'd make a fine addition to a steampunk or fall or Halloween decor!  The style is a steampunk realism.  This piece available as an original, as prints, and Limited Edition ACEOs!  

Every week on Tuesday, I try to list a small original, some giclee art prints, and giclee LE ACEO prints at promotional prices. Visit here to see what I have available this week!

Athena Minerva in Progress Sketch...

Here is another sketch of a possibility for the goddess for my Athena Minerva painting with her owl (I have an owl sketch I'm happy with, but the owl will be combined with this one in photoshop).  This one is closer to the mood I want for the piece...
