My New Series Based on The Odyssey

Penelope, The Matchless Queen of Cunning.

For those of you who have been following my work for a while know that my art has gone through a lot of changes lately. I have developed a new style and a new technique. I've integrated collage and expanded my expression and repertoire of subject matter. I produced, among other things, an entire show based solely on classic film noir.
Now I have found my art has evolved again. Inspired by an invitation from my friend Myra Clark to participate in a show at Gallery 114, I decided to take a big leap and produce a show based on Homer's The Odyssey.

Three original sketches of Mentor and Telemachus.

As always, as I progress in this series I will be posting my work in progress, including sketches and mock-ups. These are some images tracking the progress of a scene where Telemachus, Odysseus' son, prays to Athena. She appears to him in the form of Mentor. Although he appears to be a normal being, Telemachus swiftly realizes he is not who he seems, but that it is Athena speaking to him and guiding him.
