Santa Barbara, René Portocarrero

I briefly looked up Santa Barbara and she's pretty cool, I was not raised Catholic and don't have any connection with that stuff personally, I really love this image, though.

It seems like this is emerging from the darkness like a ghost or an energy or something, maybe something that was hidden there all along, part of the fabric of Reality, and now it's here, it's here, beautiful and holy and supremely powerful

a dark, rough, sketchy painting of a woman holding a sword, she wears an orange crown and has a radiant halo, all of the color used on the painting is red and orange, her dress is red and orange, the sword, her facial features, her arms, the halo, all red and orange against a black background

@vlrny thanks! The goddess drawings are close to my heart -I have a bunch of them, based on ancient artifacts (and interpretations) from the archaeology and archaeomythology work of Marija Gimbutas
(here's an intro if you aren't familiar- this is not a dull scholarly film)

Here's another drawing from the same time- then a blog link to follow

Drawing based on an ancient pottery figure- a smallish slightly conical figure with a proportionately large slightly pointy head, wide neck and short body, arms are barely a suggestion and there is a slightly inset base rather than feet or legs. It is kind of as if she is wearing a robe, but maybe it is just her body; she has blob like breasts also. Eyes are slanted and featureless (more like holes), there is a nose with nostrils and an open mouth. The original figure this was based on was probably a vessel for pouring water or other liquids out the mouth hole. Because of that and also the rather geometric markings around the 'waist' (also a 'necklace) which had symbolic meaning, she has been interpreted as possibly a Water Goddess. She is painted in earthy brown tones with light highlights and charcoaly shadows. Acrylic tempera with various coloured pencils and pastel etc sticks have been used. The background is painted in muted reds to the left, blending to dull violet on the right, not fully reaching the bottom of the paper.
