Goddess of the Loch
This a mixed media on board. I first did collaging, ( I used one of my woodcut prints to make her dress) then acrylics, and finished up with oil painting.
The model is Bellmusker .
Bell is a writer on redbubble and took a self portrait photograph of herself so that I could paint her sleeping in a landscape. I hope she likes it as I did not plan this too much, just kept painting until It was done. This is the end result.

Thanks M, its been a tough year this year. I cn’t seem to get well and I know you know what that is like. Doing the art keeps me sane. I struggle with not having full health. It can get you down. Thanks for being proud of me because I need your support.
