Greek legend has it she emerged from the sea and was married off to Hephaestus, metalsmith to the gods.

Hmmmm......goddess of love, yet many of the myths that involve her depict her as vain and ill-tempered and easily offended. Sorta like the Hollywood Trioka! :o)

"Vain, ill-tempered, & easily offended"
I don't think I can name 5 women that wouldn't describe.

HEY DAN
In '93, Roberts married Lyle Lovett, a well-known musician and song writer famous for his clever lyrics and dedication to the roots of country music.
And NOT a GQ-type.

I know it isn't deliberate, but I see an abstract cyclops in this one (not my first impression, but "popped in my head" scrolling down the page). Sideways eye (shell), nose (contour of the knee), & mouth (spear point).
Maybe you could work out some of your paintings so that there were subtle silhouettes that suggest Abraham Lincoln or the Virgin Mary--you could make a mint. : )

Is it me, or is she in the wrong position with something like that lying around?
