Odysseus and Scyllaby *PinkParasol

Traditional Art / Paintings / Fantasy

"Odysseus and Scylla"
40"x30"
oils on wood
August 2012

A commissioned piece for my "Women in Mythology" series. It is the scene from the Odyssey where Odysseus has to make the difficult journey through a narrow passage on his way home, and sail between two monsters. The once beautiful sea nymph turned monster, Scylla on one side. And the daughter of Poseidon and Gaia, a naid turned whirlpool, Charybdis, on the other. Athena is represented as an owl, guiding Odysseus on his journey seen flying in the front of the ship.

This is astounding. Everything about this painting is completely remarkable, from the all the intricate details, the lighitng, and the use (and blending) of colours. Water seems like it is probably one of the hardest things to create in artwork. You painted it beautifully. The fact that this is traditionarl art makes this piece a 1000x more wonderful.

I really hate it when it happens.

This is lovely! How much time does it take you to do a piece like this??? I adore the water and the nice touch of including Athena. I don't claim to be terribly knowledgeable about Greek mythology, but this scene was instantly recognizable. It feels like you held accuracy in high regard when you painted this. Love it!
