Artist's Comments

In Greek mythology, Artemis was the daughter of Zeus and Leto and the twin sister of Apollo. She was usually depicted as the maiden goddess of the hunt, bearing a bow and arrows. Later she became associated with the moon, as her brother was with the sun.

She was one of the most widely venerated of the gods and manifestly one of the oldest deities. In later times she was associated and considered synonymous with the Roman goddess Diana. In Etruscan mythology, she took the form of Artume. Deer and cypress are sacred to her.

*There is an older version of this in my gallery.*

I like the idea of this one; the only thing I seem to have trouble with is the fact that Artemis is pointing her arrow toward a feeding deer calf (or whatever baby deer are called) and its mother.

it's just a little distracting, and seems strange. Other than that, I absolutely love the colors used; she definitely seems a woman of the moon :)

Lovely job!

It wasn't meant to be so much as her pointing it at it as it was as her just looking at them. I like to think she's admiring them and not wanting to shoot them :)
