THE EMPRESSES AND ANGELS COLLECTION

Selene the moon godddess is the latest in my Empresses and Angels Collection (although since this is the second goddess that I have painted I am thinking of calling it the Empress, Goddess and Angels Collection!)

My wee beastie was unintentionally named after two goddesses.  In fact one of her names  is a derivative of Selene.

So when she saw I was painting her next she was naturally beside herself with excitement.

But Selene has not been an easy paint. I realised today that I actually started her at the end of MAY! So three and a half months later she is finally done.

If you follow me on Instagram you may have caught my progress stories as I struggled with her hands, her hair, her dress colour, the moon sparkles…. I wasn’t an easy paint but the end result is super rewarding!

Beastie leaves an offering every full moon for Selene asking the fairies to leave a wee gift (which they do!) and she suggested that next full moon we put my Selene out to be blessed by the moon goddess. 

And who knows maybe we will! 

Selene, as the moon goddess has the power to give sleep and to light the night. She controls time, and like the moon herself, she is ever-changing.

Selene is available for purchase or as a fine art print from my online store.
