Nymph and satyrs were the wild, mythic half-human creatures of ancient times. In my childhood, the Greek myths provided a welcome antidote to the strict morality of Sunday school. I have portrayed this scene often….
An early portrayal. I like the curled-up morning-glories in her hair.
In the second I’m aiming for Rubens, the Flemish master of flesh.
The third version is a little sketch in the collection of my in-laws.
Hope you don’t mind if we revisit this theme next week?
Yours,
Barry
