Fire Goddess is now an E-Class!

“The Fire Goddess is a symbol of transformation as she destroys the old to let way for the new.  Fire brings warmth, light, and comfort.  It is within the glow of her warmth that the embers of our creative spirit grow.”

Flaming June and Left handed painting

 One of my favorite paintings, Flaming June, was painted by Sir Frederic Leighton in 1895.  The painting currently resides in Museo de Arte de Ponce in Puerto Rico.  I hope to be able to travel there to see it sometime.

The model for the paintings body is unknown but it is believed that the model for the face was either Dorothy Dene or Mary Lloyd, two of Frederic Leighton’s favorite models during this time period.   I found a photograph of Dorothy Dene on Wikipedia.  It is no wonder she was one of his favorite models.

Since I will need to continue to embrace left handed painting for quite some time (as a result of my right arm injury), I decided to take some artistic liberty and use Dorothy Dene’s  photo as the basis for this weeks left handed painting.

 

Mixed Media Non dominant hand painting by Marla L. Niederer
