Description
261 Ledas Nightlife
I have long been fascinated by artists who painted mythological themes. The Greek and Roman and other Gods and Goddesses, nymphs, satyrs, heros. And, one of my favorite has always been the the story of Zeus lusting after Leda, a mere mortal on Earth. And in some ill formed notion of stealth, he comes up with a plan to transform himself into a magnificent Swan, and, in this disguise, he can seduce Leda and have his way with her. In some versions, this mating produces the Helen of the Helen of Troy story. It is one of the most erotic and widely attempted subjects by various artist from the classical mythology themes. Musing on the topic one night in front of my blank canvas, I began scribbling with some pretty colors, almost autonomically, coming up with this very abstract approach to the theme. I like it, though.
