This is a fascinating combination of acrylic, paper, refractive paint and inks to explore where I feel the pre-Raphaelites may have gone had they had the freedom and the materials we have available today. It is the first of a new series of paintings and is the most refreshing and exciting thing to work on. I love the Pre-Raphaelite paintings, but I feel they have always needed a treatment beyond the tight controls of the genre. The brotherhood were masters of portraiture and I couldn’t find a better way of exploring the techniques they employed. Watch out for more of these coming soon ! :-)

Abnoba, goddess of the Black Forest and Danube Abnoba was a goddess of the Black Forest and Danube River, worshipped by Celtic Gauls, and later by Romans, as Diana Abnoba (goddess of the hunt). Abnoba is believed to mean fog or mist on the river. There are two alters in Roman baths in Badenweiler and Mühlenbach, Germany, respectively, inscribed with the name of “Diana Abnoba” (see below). Rome annexed Gaul in about 51 BC; and it’s conceivable that they attempted to merge gods and goddesses of the two civilizations. / ! I chose to represent Abnoba, because I have an affinity for the forest—to me a kind of sacred place, where trees whisper amongst themselves, their vocal chords, the wind. I love how nature’s cycle of life, and decay-giving life, again, is reduced to the obvious; even there on the forest floor; where I can see it, below my feet and hands, elbows, and curious eye. But to the Celtic Gauls, the forest was life, itself. It was the source of food—they hunted there; the source of firewood for warmth and cooking; for fresh water; and no doubt weapons. The forest was a shield, protecting them. How interesting to have a woman—a divine woman, no less, guarding these very precious resources—the Black Forest, the Danube River, and surrounding rivers and streams. What is it about a woman that would make her the best candidate for protecting the two resources that meant life or death to entire communities? I leave you to contemplate that. Hopefully “Abnoba, goddess of the Black Forest and Danube”, will inspire someone who sees it to become the protector of their own region’s rivers, woods, and creatures—great and small. They need us, as we need them. — Digital Work by F.A. Moore, June 23-24, 2009, in watercolor style; influenced by the art style of Pre-Raphaelites and Arts and Crafts movement. Special thanks to stock providers, the beautiful model from mizzd-stock, FantasyStock, idnurse41, CAStock, LucieG, Dragonic-Stock and wikipedia for 2 special images in the public domain. ABOUT THIS WORK: / I added a variety of creatures to illustrate the ease with which Abnoba must have related to them. Look closely and you will find that animals, birds, reptiles, and insects are all represented. Only fish are not represented. (Darn! forgot!) Information was a bit scarce on the animals that reside in the Black Forest region of Germany, except that there are the usual forest animals, including fox and big cats. The Sperlingskauz, a forest owl; and the Kolkrabe, a species of Raven, were specifically noted as being special to the region. I was lucky enough to find images of these two in the public domain on wikipedia images. Look for the Black Forest’s Sperlingskauz (owl) and the Kolkrabe (Raven) in the piece.

9×12 pencil on Strathmore drawing paper This is just a quick sketch I did to study the basic “Jane Morris face style”. Jane Morris was the embodiement of beauty to many of the Pre-Raphaelites including Dante Gabriel Rossetti and her husband William Morris. / I am very intrigued by Jane Morris. In real life pictures of her she is not quite the beauty that Rossetti painted, but still very unique. She was tall and lanky at a time period where curvaceous was the standard and she was bordering on masculine. What did Morris and Rosetti see in her that would later define the Pre-Raphaelite look? / Many of you have probably read that study that stated women are attracted to more masculine looking men when they are ovulating, and more feminine looking men at other times in their monthly cycle. Men tend to always see women from a primal view. In general, our standard of beauty is dictated by our hormones and our primal need to procreate. But I think the Pre-Raphaelites saw something beyond primal in Jane Morris. / Her features, although tending more towards the feminine, are bordering on the androgynous. She is almost a perfect balance of the masculine and feminine. To me, she has the face of what I imagine the angels to have; more feminine but also very masculine. She therefore represents a spiritual ideal, a perfect balance of the divine feminine and the divine masculine. I think this is what captivated the Pre-Raphaelites, and what is still captivating us today.
raphaelite – information provided by wikipedia:
The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood (also known as the Pre-Raphaelites) was a group of English painters, poets and critics, founded in 1848 by John Everett Millais, Dante Gabriel Rossetti and William Holman Hunt. The group's intention was to reform art by rejecting what they considered to be the mechanistic approach first adopted by the Mannerist artists who succeeded Raphael and Michelangelo. They believed that the Classical poses and elegant compositions of Raphael in particular had been a corrupting influence on academic teaching of art. Hence the name "Pre-Raphaelite". In particular they objected to the influence of Sir Joshua Reynolds, the founder of the English Royal Academy of Arts. They called him "Sir Sloshua", believing that his broad technique was a sloppy and formulaic form of academic Mannerism. In contrast they wanted to return to the abundant detail, intense colours, and complex compositions of Quattrocento Italian and Flemish art.RedBubble is a great place to find art, design, photos and writing from over 80,000 talented people.
