Beautiful, and very creative! Almost missed Hades there, due to the subtle way you depicted him.

Lovely work. I like the subtlety of Hades and the pomegranate seeds to the side

Fantastic job. Very classic, but original too.
I was wondering, what was the inspiration behind the little purple stones on the right?

Everything in the painting please me... but what I liked most is Hades taking her to the underworld, his figure hidden... very beautiful!

Yes, the story is very powerful. Premise of every romantic movie made. Thanks for the kind words, glad you enjoyed the piece! : )

Thank you, Klimt was a great inspiration to her and the rest of the series of Greek Gods and Goddesses.

you're welcome
Klimt's got some really nice paintings and a very distinctive style and now that you mention it I can see some of it in yours. The rest of the series is wonderful as well

That sky is so beautiful rendered. And the styles too, are very remarkable - the top half makes me think of the very pretty asian ladies in 20th C poster art - the sky makes me think of Maxwell Parrish then it all dissolves into Klimt at the bottom - and the vertical vignette-ish-effect on the right is wholly modern! And it all meshes together so seamlessly. Really interesting.
And of course now I have perused your gallery I see you love Greek myth as much as I. It's so nice to see when contemporary till interpret ancient myth in their art!

I know there is a lot going on, some of my other personalities jumped in and helped me design each God and Goddess! How can you go wrong creating visuals with such passionate stories! Thanks for all the kind words!!

I love Gustav Klimt and he was a very big inspiration with the series of Greek Gods and Goddesses, thank you so much for the favs and friend!!! : )-

I have two jewelry pieces in my gallery I made that after Klimt. I hope to do more Klimt inspired jewelry pieces. He is such a wonderful artist, I love his use in color and light tones- his style has always stood out among his peers.
Thre is a childrens book called "Klimts Cat" that is very much in the style of Klimt, but still very original like your work. (and it's a very cute story about Klimt and his cat!)
btw- Your Welcome!^

Very nice, a good combination of elements from klimt, Mucha, and maybe even some W.Heath Robinson. Awsome

Thank you, Klimt and Mucha were my inspiration for her. I don't know who W. Heath Robinson is, will look him up.
