Painting of Euterpe by Natalia Dagenhart
Dear Friends, as you know, I am also an artist. Art is a great part of my life. I am happy to introduce to you my video where I demonstrate the process of creating a painting. This is one of the most interesting things to do - to make a plain white canvas become alive, make it breathe, move, look at us, and basically live its own life.
This is one of my latest paintings - this time, I painted Euterpe, the Muse of Lyric Poetry. She was one of the nine Mousai (Muses), the goddesses of music, song and dance.
I made a little video for you; it describes every step of my work. Here it is - enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TtBYfDQUlQ
And here is information about Euterpe that I found online. In the Classical era, when the Mousai were assigned specific literary and artistic spheres, Euterpe was named Muse of lyric poetry. Her attribute was the double-flute. Euterpe's name was derived from the Greek words eu- and terpô, meaning "giver of much delight." More information about the Muses you can find at:
