The Milk Bath Mural
Added 2023-12-21 17:06:40 +0000 UTCCreating the world of the Deep Dairy was one of the highlights in my artistic career, and I am so happy Amanda Clover asked me to help dream it up!
I've been fascinated in the ancient world all my life, so I was eager to bring what I knew to this project. From fashioning the Corinthian capitals with bosomy flourishes, to designing a backdrop for bathers to enjoy.
Another time period of art history that I love is the Baroque. Voluptuous women enjoying the pleasures of life in serene surroundings. Inspired by artists like Boucher, I sketched up this painting of a Goddess expressing from her breasts into the mouths of waiting fish. I saw it as an artistic allegory for the fishmen's beliefs, or possibly propaganda.
The actual mural though, is technically only partially complete. Since Sophie would be blocking the majority of it, I only painted those parts that we would see.
But I hope you enjoy this detailed look at one of the aspects of my newest cover.

I knew you had put a lot of effort into that detail. You did that for the painting on the wall of my last commission of Mrs. B a few years ago.
