Quickie M3 post

Here is what I have done so far on Tam's Magical Mythical Makings course.
First I chose a Goddess to paint and wrote about it in my art journal.
We are doing paintings inspired by Gustav Klimt so I printed some pictures of his work to stick in my journal and practised some of his 'doodles'.
Then I practised my front facing portrait.

Then I did a page of what I hope my canvas will look like and explored the themes we were given this week.
I then started on my BIG canvas-20x30 inches-scary!!

So far just playing in my journal - my canvas, my scary BIG canvas, is down the unit so will start on that this week. I'm drawn to his image of the woman holding the mirror up so have been fiddling around with varients on that - I really love the one of the woman curled up in a ball sleeping but that's no good for this lesson. Not sure what Goddess she would symbolise _ i like the idea of her being a look at yourself, change yourself kind of thing... hmm.
