Sophia
18×24 acrylic on canvas
Thought it would be fun to do some goddesses in a kind of pop realism style. This is the Gnostic goddess, the feminine half of God and the mind of God, or the Divine Wisdom.

Terry Hinkle
Wait… I thought this was a self portrait.
A beautiful style. I love your art!
MoonSpiral replied

Anni Morris
Tammy these colours are pefect partners, love those eyes. I hope to catch up looking at work on RB this week, as I wasn’t around much last week. Hope you are keeping well? ~ Anni xox
MoonSpiral replied
Thanks Anni. Yeah if you miss a week around here you miss loads don’t you. Guess that is why we are all so addicted. Always good to see you!!
Lynette K.
Oh Tammy I love this! She is beautiful…love the star halo about her head. Love those lips! These colours are wonderful. FAV!
MoonSpiral replied
Aww thanks Lynette, I was just over doing the same with your work…lol.
Lynette K.
I had another look at tis and those eyes…so very life like…you could almost see how wet they are. I have a thing for eyes. :)
MoonSpiral replied
ditto…the eyes really are everything. You are really good w/ eyes too, and I can see why you draw Lynn a lot, she has amazing eyes!
Lynette K.
I believe the eyes make the piece. Thank you…yes Lynn does have amazing eyes…
F.A. Moore
GREAT colors, oooh, wow. fav.
MoonSpiral replied
It’s the red hair isn’t it?...lol. Thanks Frannie!!!
Ming Myaskovsky
This is you, NO?! Anyway, it’s a beautiful YOU, love the dove its eyes matches your eyes! :)
MoonSpiral replied
No, not me….but I would like to be her. Thanks Ming!!!
Tahnja
Yes I see you in this too and it’s beautiful. Love your avatar too, you look wonderful
MoonSpiral replied
Well I did have red bangs like that for awhile. Thanks Tahnja…I have been exercising like crazy this summer….feels good to be in my skinny jeans again….lol.
Emma Wertheim
WOW…! I love her! x
MoonSpiral replied
Thankyou my friend, good to hear from you :)
Tahnja
aww really? Good on you!!! Feels good to be healthy and fit doesn’t it?
MoonSpiral replied
Yeah, it took me over four years to get the baby weight off from my last one. I thought it wouldn’t come off, but it really does boil down to consistent exercise because I have always ate pretty healthy, but can be real lazy about exercise.
F.A. Moore
I knew you’d pick up on that (red hair)! LOL.
You do look nice and skinny. Congrats. Exercise is such a big deal.
I’m only 7 pound off of my weight; but it’s 7 lbs of fat not muscle; and I can really tell the difference.
I’ve been running around while the coffee is brewing. Hahaaaa! In the microwave!!!

MoonSpiral replied
Yipppeeeee, thankyou Amanda!!!!!!
Karin Taylor
wow, she’s so gorgeous, she reminds me a lot of you with the red hair, i love her eyelashes, nose ring and rings on her fingers, and that beautiful dove, what a pair…she has the most beautiful appealing look on her face….. wow! :) xxx
MoonSpiral replied
It is the red hair, though mine is no longer that color :(...too much work. Thankyou Karin for your observant and supportive comments!!

Steph Granshaw
i think this is reeeeaaally cool Tammy, you should most definitely do more in this style, love her, instant fave XXX
MoonSpiral replied
Thankyou so much Steph. You know I jump from one style to the next (that air sign craziness) but I had so much fun painting her I am thinking I would like to explore this style more.
Steph Granshaw
As she has a little sparkly halo you might like my latest blog post here
MoonSpiral replied
Wow, I have never heard of the moon centers, that hit me in my belly, meaning it feels true! And the halo, wow. Do you ever read the New Millenium Being ezine? It is written by a kundalini yoga guru I think, but is the astrology of each month. Anyway, I am amazed at how kundalini yoga seems to open it’s practitioners up to this deep level of intuitive and esoteric knowing that I do not see anywhere else.
izzybeth
Although I am not Catholic I enjoy the Iconography of the Church. I have a small collection of Madonnas that I have purchased at flea markets and antique stores. I think they are so beautiful. This will look wonderful with my collection.
Dang. no money… I guess I am gona have to go into overdrive.
MoonSpiral replied
Haha…yeah I am the same way. The icons are so beautiful, and I am very drawn to gnosticism because it is so mystical. I am with you on the money…like I said, it took me 9 months to get paid on here….and I have definately spent more on here than I have made.
Steph Granshaw
yes, i feel so blessed to be practicing KY, it feels like i’ve come home, for many years i have been wishy washy about my own spirituality, but KY gives it depth and real meaning, i can’t wait to be teaching properly :))))
