The Muses: Erato

There are a set of asteroids named after the Greek muses, each shedding light on an area of art/creativity. Erato is the muse of desire, loveliness, erotica, lyre, lyric poetry or erotic poetry, eye candy or what "charms the sight", mimic imitation, and expressing love through art. Some interpret this asteroid as the feminine version of Eros. But I prefer to treat Eros and Erato as two completely separate interpretations without relation. (Asteroid #62)

Apollo and the Muses

I tried to make this one mirror the artwork of Artemis and the Pleiades. Still not sure if I accomplished that or not, but it looks really good on its own.
