Description This one took me forever to finish.... My first attempt at depicting the triple goddes - Maiden, Mother & Crone.
I know that maiden & the mother look pretty close age-wise, but I figured that this is the transition that am/will be making soon. Well in the next couple of year anyhoo! My Fav bits are the sky & the cauldron.

they may look close in age, but the Mother aspect does look older.. the distended belly kind of says, "Yes, I am the Mother." I do really love this.

HIya Lily. FIrst of all thank you so much from your nice comments they saved my day (had a really bad day). I've always liked the idea of the tripple goddess. Sometimes i really feel the presence. now that spring is coming, birds singing and all snow melting, it's a change too. Great that you've painted an older person. I should do that too. Wrinkles tell about wisdom. This is a really beautiful and touching piece.

That's ok hun! I've still got more commenting to do today!

I've always felt an affinity with the triple goddess also.
Every aspect & phase of our lives is special & should be celebrated.
I'd love to come back to this theme one day & either re-do it in watercolours or completely re-work it into something new. But, that will be some time away yet. Too many other things on my plate at the moment!

Thanks! So many people tend to avoid depicting old persons, so I thought I'd have a go...
The cauldron is one of my fav items in this piece too!

Wow I absolutely Love this!! The only thing I would change, Well not change but add would be a Necklace for the mother that resembles the crystal in the coans staff. But thats just me. It really is Very nicely Done.

You're right - that'd make a very nice addition! I've still got the line art for this one, so you never know.... I may revisit it sometime in the future & give it a bit of a revamp!

I've seen you about on Maggie's page - Well, Welcome!!! Any friend of Maggie's is a friend of mine!

Pull up a chair, get comfy & make yourself at home!

Really nice work. I think the maiden looks about 16 and the mother about 29, so it's not a bad age gap. Great work, keep it up.

Why, thankyou my sweet! I was really just mucking around with Photoshop... Just seeing what little bits'n'pieces it had. I didn't even scratch the surface of its features, but I managed to do what I wanted to - so I'm happy
I have to admit, the sparkles are my fav too! All magicky & sparkly
