Title
Colored Cultural Zoo B Sacred Scarab
Artist
Melinda Dare Benfield
Medium
Painting - Watercolor And Pen And Ink
Description
In the color version of Sacred Scarab, I was trying to capture the contrast between light and dark, solid and flimsy, ...etc. I used a metallic copper colored paint for the solar disk and the giving hands which obviously lost it's luster in the scanning process and appears a kind of copper-brown.

Thank you so much, Viktor. I think I need to dip back into this series again to see if I can refresh myself...

Thank you, Genevieve. I gave this series as a homework assignment to myself to distract from my father's recent death, the loss of a wanted unborn child, my recent cross-ocean flight from a failed marriage, and my mother's ongoing battle with cancer. It employed my background in Anthropology, History, and Art while keeping my hands busy. There is more to do along this line so I may have to come back to this series....
