I did this ink drawing back in 1992 for fun after I learned a time consuming process of simply making ink dots while in my Graphic Arts class. I loved the outcome of this so much that I had it framed. I happened to see it a few days ago and decided to photograph it—to share with all of you. A mistress is a man’s long term sexual partner and companion. Historically, the term has denoted a kept woman who is maintained in a comfortable (or even lavish) lifestyle by a wealthy man so that she will be available for his sexual pleasure; essentially a kind of highly expensive, single-client prostitute. Today however, it is used primarily to refer to the companion of a man who is married to another woman; in the case of an unmarried man it is usual to speak of a girlfriend or partner. The relationship is generally stable and at least semi-permanent; however, the couple do not live together openly. Historically a man kept a mistress. As the term implies, he was responsible for her debts and provided for her in much the same way as he did his wife. In more recent and emancipated times, it is more likely that the mistress has a job of her own, and is less, if at all, financially dependent on the man. It is not uncommon for a man to have acknowledged children by his mistress.

Plutarch a Greek scholar who lived in 46 C.E. wrote, Isis and Osiris, which is considered a main source about the very late myths about Isis. In it he writes of Isis: “she is both wise, and a lover of wisdom; as her name appears to denote that, more than any other, knowing and knowledge belong to her.” The shrine of Isis in Sais carried the inscription “I am all that hath been, and is, and shall be; and my veil no mortal has hitherto raised.” At Sais, however, the patron goddess of its Ancient Cult was Neith, many of whose traits had begun to be attributed to Isis during the Greek occupation. In The Golden Ass the Roman writer Apuleius later gives us his understanding of Isis in the second century. The following paragraph is particularly significant: “ You see me here, Lucius, in answer to your prayer. I am nature, the Universal Mother, Mistress of all the elements, primordial child of time, sovereign of all things Spiritual, Queen of the dead, Queen also of the immortals, the single manifestation of all gods and goddesses that are, my nod governs the shining heights of Heavens, the wholesome sea breezes. Though I am worshipped in many aspects, known by countless names … some know me as Juno, some as Bellona … the Egyptians who excel in Ancient learning and worship call me by my true name…Queen Isis.

mix medium drawing on white matte photo paper. :-) I think I took about 2 or 3 hours just doodling and came up with this. I usually paint or draw a more realistic style, but I really think every artist should do something different from the norm. It’s fun, and very liberating. myspace.com/artistmind
