Evening Blessing

Oil on Canvas
36" X 18"

This is the first in my series of "Ode to Alphonse Mucha." I love Mucha's approach of combining figure with landscape and decorative and symbolic components. In this piece, I integrate the image of one of my favorite models, Heather Hoxsey, with the landscape and flora of Eaton Canyon in Southern CA, and symbols representing the goddess, Hekate, "Mother of Angels and the Cosmic World Soul." I like to think of it as the blending of three unique spirits: Mucha, Hoxsey, and Miller, as portrayed by the artist, Lin.

Update

After a long hiatus, I have updated my blog: thank you for your patience if you've been checking in on me. In some cases, I have included pieces that are in progress just so you can see what I'm working on these days. Much of my work in the past two years has been commissioned pieces, mostly portraits but also one mural (Field of Lavender in Provence). In addition to the commissions, I have been fortunate to be involved with an excellent group of artists that meet weekly for a model session. The last two posts are results of these sessions. If you have any questions or comments about any of my work, please feel free to leave a thoughtful comment on the piece, or contact me from the link to your right. As always, I appreciate your following. -Lin
