Maria Aragon - Practical Obsessions: Painting and Writing @mariaaragon64 - Tumblr Blog

Work resumed

I started painting again in May, after basically five months of not painting. For some reason, Dionysus is my subject for the first three projects. I finished one last week. I am working on the 2nd one and then the third one. I will likely post them all together when they're done.

So, Stand by. Art is coming.

Long drought

Other than the collages I made in January, I hadn't made any art in terms of painting since a week before Thanksgiving. Last week I resumed painting again. Perhaps I'll have something to post in another week and a half.

The way the statue was discovered in 1959 in Piraeus, photo from the archive of the Archaeological society at Athens showing a smaller Artemis bronze statue hugging the bigger Athena statue.

One of my most favorite exhibits of the Archaeological Museum of Thessaloniki, medallion of goddess Athena, 2nd century B.C. I love the 3D effect of it, plus the details, very impressive.
