Description:

For my first Asian goddess painting I decided to paint Amaterasu, who is known in Japanese mythology as a sun goddess and the most important Shinto deity. Her full name is Amaterasu-o-mi-kami (天照大神) which means "glorious goddess who shines in the heavens".

In this soft pastel painting, I illustrated some of her symbols including the rising sun disc, which is also shown on the Japanese Flag. The sword or blade represents might and honor. I also incorporated Japanese Kanji characters which, when translated into English, reads as "The Goddess of Sun".

The goddess Amaterasu called out to me because of her diverse character. As a sun goddess, she oversees the Japanese fields of rice. She was also known as an accomplished weaver of stunning satins, silks, and brocades.

For this painting's reference photograph, we had the talented and beautiful local runway model, Mai Dang. She brought a full suitcase of various traditional Asian outfits. Prior to the photo shoot, I had a brainstorming session with our hair/make-up artist, Georgette Khaziran of Verdecia Salon, who came up with a complete list of hair styles and make-up combinations that would complement each goddess.

We also had our two friends, Michael and George, on site that provided tech support. In addition, George was able to put his martial arts training to work by demonstrating marital art poses and forms for the model during the weapon shots that ranged from holding swords of all sizes and lengths to daggers and even an axe!
