The Age of Aquarius

Modern Myth? Some say we are already in this new celestial age, others claim we will enter it on December 21, 2012. We have all surely read or heard about this date. So I decided after reading one very interesting book, The fingerprints of the Gods, to create this painting. Instead of being inspired by past myths, I give you a future or nearly present myth.


Painted on a 10x20 museum depth canvas in acrylics. The image is painted wrapped around the edges. Our subject looks upon a billboard while the sun behind her rises in the house of Aquarius. I enjoyed the creation of this piece with it's aspects of realistic and imagined elements. A little closeup to show off some of the detail.
