     Love the Grayson portrait.  I always loved her short doo.  Short and sassy!

Hmm...very interesting. What kind of symbol do you see exactly?  Me curious...

I dunno - resembles the symbol for female, or the astrological glyph for Venus.

Theory??  [lghy]  Not a one.

Ya know, that profile is quite something.  I love it.
You should send it to Matt Hall or something.  I betcha he'd like it.

Thanks, luv, for posting this link... I noticed Connie's comment (I think I must have missed it originally) and went back to look.

The way you showed the "sculpting" of Grayson/Peggy's back bears a strong resemblance to a symbol commonly used today by Witches and Neo Pagans for the Great Goddess in Her aspect as the "Triple Goddess," specifically with lunar associations--the two back-to-back C's (often drawn with a circle in the middle) are signs for the waxing and waning Moon.

Pure serendipity, but, given that some of us routinely refer to GH as "the Divine One," don't you think?

Thanks for the info, dear...when one gets as involved in the creative process as I tend to get, one can start in in one place and end up in another, all the while having that "vision" of what you want to see come to life in the back of your head (if that makes any sense - lol.) Sometime little twists and turns can end up becoming happy accidents that, when you step back, can enrichen a work (depending on how you interpret it, or what you want to say/express in the piece), other times it can lead to less pleasant things (don't get me started on the interesting moments I've had the fortune (or misfortune) to experience during serious critiques...)

Anyway - a case of "divine" inspiration, G? ;)
