Artist's Comments

Mnemosyne, the goddess of memory and controller of time, was the daughter of Uranus (Heaven) and the Gaea (Earth).

After the terrible war against the Titans was finally over, the Olympians asked Zeus to create divinities that would entertain them and celebrate their victory. Zeus went to see his wife Mnemosyne in Pieria and slept with her nine consecutive nights. Mnemosyne then gave birth to the nine Muses.

This is beautiful! I love the way the reddish-orange colour of contrasts so sharply with the green background!

This is truly, truly beautiful.
The way the red/orange is so warm, and then the little bird with this really fresh and icy colour, it's amazing.

Nine muses .. the nine stack mountain, the nine chakras by which one must be purified, before you can "come forth by day" in Egypt ... wow this lady was at the center of everything.

How do you envision Letha, the river of forgetfulness?

I'm really impressed by your use of the pastel medium. and I love mythology and seeing how people illustrate it but I'd never heard of Mnemosyne before. It all makes sense now, I'm not forgetful I just was not born under her favor lol

This is lovely. The color and texture of her hair are wonderful, and the various leaves, flowers, and decorations really create a great contrast. They also act as wonderful reminders of who her parent were with the flowers and leaves being reminiscent of Gaea and the blue beads being a great symbol for the blue heavens. The bird is absolutely lovely as well. :)
