What I Have Been Doing This Summer

I just finished creating two new wall hangings and I want to share them with you.  The client wanted one to be very "girly" for her daughter thus the pink, purple, fairies, flowers, dragonflies etc. and for her son she indicated that he liked musical instruments.  I will soon be returning to my collages and hopefully finish a painting that I began at the beginning of the summer.  Below are the results of the commissioned pieces.

"Metamorphoses" by Ovid

Here are the results of my interpretations of different stories from"Metamorphoses" as pictured below.

This is the tale of Atalanta who could outrun even the fastest men in a footrace.
This is the story of Peleus and Thetis grappling with an enormous seabird its body as powerful as a seal.

This is the tale of Acteon and Diana.  Diana, angry that Acteon saw her naked made antlers of a stag sprout from his dripping head.

Finally, this is the tale of Orpheus and Eurydice who turned to look at her  whereupon she fell away and dissolved.
