Description
**This work is for a contest being held by lordteepes the contest topic is Love/Hate**Venus The Roman Goddess Of Love, also known as Aphrodite in Greek Mythology. Venus was born of the Sea and the Sky. There are still shrines to Venus existing in the Mediterranean Region to this day. Each year the city of Venice, named for Venus, celebrates the marriage of their city to Venus. She is also associated with the rites of Spring and Fertility. Though there are many other great Goddesses associated with Love, Venus reigns as the supreme Goddess Of Love.
Background is of my own making, except for some of the brushes used in the brushwork
Stock used: Lockstock [link]
Brushes by: anaRasha [link] & Aurora Brushes [link]

you know if you research deep enough venus isn't the goddess of love she is the protector of prositutes.....weird huh?

I think the term is physical love mate. The gods weren't really into love, just sex. And another interesting fact...Aphrodite was a barbarian meaning a non Greek she was actually imported from Asia.
In any case back to the art, great stuff love it nice to see Venus/Aphrodite with ginge hair (she was not blond) Love everything you did to it.
