You are very excellent at these Lew...

Thank you Thalia, Alan and Sylvia for your feedback, always welcome. Yes Alan, I find these old legends and folklore interesting. Fairy tales really, usually with a moral in there somewhere.

Great stuff Lew. Caught her expression well. She looks like he mischevious landlady of the Golden Apple pub somewhere after asking a customer how his wife is after seeing him with his girl-friend.. (-:

Yes that's her, Jim. And she'll say these things with such a sweet smile.

You have caught that wonderful expression of naughtiness and charm wonderfully Lewis.

I think this lady could stir up more than just strife, discord and rivalry Lewis! Wonderful expression and great painting.

Love all the old Greek mythology Lew, she looks very happy to have caused so much damage, but beautifully painted as always 😀

Ha ha - great ideas!

Posted by Maureen Sherman on Sun 28 Oct 11:28:16

Another great idea, superbly executed, Lew. Even the title is an instant hook. Yes, those old myths are brilliant if you take them at face value. IE total nonsense, but wonderfully adventurous. Bri

Thanks again to all those who've had a look and commented...very much appreciated.

Was she inspired by Hattie Jaques? It pops off the page as always with your work.

Brilliant drawing Lewis.

Posted by Margaret Beynon on Sun 28 Oct 15:17:13

No Linda, she wasn't inspired by Hattie Jacques. The legends often don't give much of a description, I just went for a plump happy looking woman (who enjoys her work). Why? Don't know...I didn't want her to look obviously mean.

Great fun drawing Lewis :)

Posted by Margaret Nisbet on Sun 28 Oct 18:06:59

I think she's very alluring Lewis, as did Paris I guess!

Posted by Russell Edwards on Sun 28 Oct 19:17:29

This is clever, Lewis, with great linework. She looks a right mischief maker and no mistake!

Gouache. A4 sketchbook. My imagining of this troublemaker. She's the one who gave Paris the golden apple that he was to award to the one he thought the most beautiful of three Goddesses. She knew, whichever he chose, there would be trouble. And there was...it led to the Trojan War. I find all this interesting, nonsense of course, but interesting nonsense.

About the Artist

Lewis Cooper

Self taught. Love drawing. Like to make pictures up, without using reference pics, often in cartoon style. I do other pictures where I do use reference. I'm knocking on a bit, born in 1940 in Greenwich, London. Retired, and loving it.
