Description The Maid, or... Joan of Arc!

I painted this from a view of the Joan of Arc monument in Washington D.C.... adding the sword that's missing, and trying to breathe a little more life into her.

Anyway, Joan of Arc is amazing... I foresee I'll be painting her again.

Joan was a stuck up French bitch!

Nah, I kid. She took it to those Saxon dogs and gets a muffin in my book for it.

Ah! Joan of Arc!

I so love Joan. She's been one of my heroes since I was knee-tall to a grasshopper. I can't even tell you how many books I've read about her XD Except to say that it's been a lot.

This is delightful. Entirely.

And did I ever tell you that Joan is one of the inspirations behind Alanna? ^-^

Way cool, Jadeling!!

Yes, I'm taking this class about heroes throughout history, and we read a great text about Joan. She's my hero now, too! Such an amazing story...

And you didn't tell me that she was an inspiration behind Alanna, but I believe it!

There's a monument for her in DC?

The only female mounted monument in the city, I believe! It's based on one in France.
