“Venus with a Cat,” and, “the Water Nymph.” In both, the nymph and Venus were represented by beautiful older woman, who was 50 at the time I drew her, to explore and reveal the beauty of older women, and the idea that Venus, the essence of love and beauty, can be represented by an older woman. In the “Venus” drawing, I also gave her a mastectomy, in order to explore the beauty of cancer survivors, and to express the loveless of their bodies as well. Two drawings in classical Rococo style, but using models who would not have been used in that era.Venus with a Cat, available as a print Water Nymph, available as a print -- source link
