Those of you who have traveled to Egypt or studied the culture perhaps experience a similar passion. My curiosity is insatiable since traveling down the River Nile and becoming familiar with this amazing vast span of history.
One could research this historical period, say, 3500 BCE to Cleopatra’s era at 35 BCE for a lifetime and still not cover it completely. The vessel is bottomless.
Therefore, more goddesses will be revealed, more myths explored, tombs and temples raided (metaphorically only), and even more pigments, paints, colors, and bling incorporated into new paintings in the coming months.
Read the first Lessons from the Pharaoh’s Tomb pigment project on this blog beginning January 24, 2009.
Anyone have a specific interesting topic? Just let me know, and I’ll consider it for a possible painting subject.
