Diana

Diana is the Roman goddess of the hunt, as well as the moon and birthing. An arrow is often her attribute. I found the one here at a local archery shop. I liked it's classic look. All of the architectural elements in the painting are dollhouse miniatures.

Available as a fine art print. Click here for more information.

Jester

This painting is also somewhat older. The patterned tights are commonly seen on jesters and harlequins in Western art history at least since the Middle Ages. The parquet floor was enlarged from a dollhouse miniature.

Fine art prints of this painting are available here.

Reflection

This is almost eight years old now. The Vermeer reference is obvious, but I was also interested in the glass of  water just out of reach of the seated figure, in relationship to the glass of red wine and the reach for the red roses.
