Beautiful, really captures the soul of each goddess,
By Angel Lee "Liocorno Amethyst Moonstone" (Cleveland, OH United States) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER)
This review is from: Susan Seddon Boulet: The Goddess Paintings (Paperback)
Susan Boulet's paintings capture the beauty & sprit of over 40 goddesses. Many images are mystical, magical and mysterious, while others have an almost haunting quality. I love the soft earthy colors she uses.Each painting is in full color on glossy stock & contained to a single page. In a few cases several portraits are done of a single goddess. Alongside, on a separate page, sidebars tell what each goddess represents & her history. Some of my favorites include the Bird Goddess & Bast, an Egyptian goddess with a female face & a cat's body. I also enjoyed the brief history of mythology & information on the artist herself contained in the forward. I liked this book so much I bought an extra copy so I could cut out the artwork & use it to decorate my home. The setup is great for this, in most cases pictures are not back to back on the same page.

Beautiful Paintings,
By A Customer
This review is from: Susan Seddon Boulet: The Goddess Paintings (Paperback)
This beautiful collection of paintings by Susan Seddon Boulet consists of 44 depictions of different goddesses from mythology on the right, along with a description of the goddess on left. The goddesses are from all types of mythology, anywhere from Egyptian to medieval to Celtic, but they center around Greek and Roman goddesses. The medium is a combination of pastels, pencil, and ink. Susan Seddon Boulet's use of transparency and color is especially impressive. The paintings are very wispy and dream-like. If you are interested in mythology you will love this book. If you are unfamilliar with mythology, this is a great way to learn.
