Calliope
“No Muse-poet grows conscious of the Muse except by experience of a woman in whom the Goddess is to some degree resident…. but the real, perpetually obsessed Muse-poet distinguishes between the Goddess as manifest in the supreme power, glory, wisdom and love of woman, and the individual woman whom the Goddess may make her instrument…”
(Robert Graves)

Calliope belongs to the following groups:
Greek and Roman Mythology, PixElations - The Art of Photoshop and Spiritual Art

One of my favorite photographers is a melbourne photographer Bill Henson. I dont know if you know of him but if not you should look him up, your work reminds me of his. So, so good!

Amanda Hammock
She needs her stylus, actually a very special one you have named here.
I believe what I like about this is that it feels like a mirror which one reaches and cleans off, going through layer and layer. The mirror not being entirely cleaned yet, of course. The layers are always amazing, lending more questions then I believe answers for we all see things differently.
Thomas Dodd replied
And I thought record needles were impossible to find anymore…
Thanks my dear – I think this loses quite a bit of detail in the small version seen here – but c’est la vie….

wow- I am glad to have found your work – it is very powerful imagery and delicately done….the feminine element in mythology is beautifully rendered : )
FAIRIEWOMAN1
I love the shadow and mystery here, as if shes emerging from the sub conscious or a half forgotten dream. The Graves quote pairs well with this art.
