I was happy to participate yet again in Month of Love 2017 – a yearly month-long celebration of art during February (I also participate in Month of Fear).
I did two of the challenges this month, Innocence and Metamorphoses. Their counterpart in the previous Month of Fear was Wicked and also Metamorphoses.
Since I painted Von Rothbart, the villain of Swan Lake, for Wicked in Month of Fear, I decided to paint Odette, the cursed swan princess, for Innocence.

For Month of Fear, I painted a shapeshifting snake woman for Metamorphoses. For Month of Love, I took inspiration from the Welsh mythological tale of Blodeuwedd, a woman formed from flowers.
