| Cupid - Sweet Little Baby Angel - Pastel Painting |
 11x14 Pastel on watercolor paper; framed.
Lovely Pastel Cupid Painting, on Arches watercolor paper. I just love his fluttery violet wings! I find myself returning to this particular violet color again and again (in portraits, and in backgrounds).
His mouth and eyes are wide open; he seems surprised; maybe my Cupid is contemplating his next victim, or maybe his arrow just unexpectedly shot somebody unintended. In heart matters, there are many surprises and our little Cupid has a lot of work to do!
Definition from Encyclopedia Mythica: Cupid -- The Roman god of love and the son of Venus. He is a small, winged boy, carrying bow and arrows. The arrows, once struck the heart, makes the victim fall in love. He is also portrayed as a young man with his beloved Psyche, with Venus or with a small group of winged infants (the Amoretti or Amorini). Some traditions say that he was born from a silver egg.
His Greek equivalent is Eros. The name is derived from the Latin cupido, "desire".Labels: Pastel Paintings |

How cute...
I have watched the enlarged image and it seems more paint than pastel. Very nice colours.

Thank you! You'll be surprised to find then that this painting took me less than an hour to complete it(shhh... let it be a secret!) - painting it was a pure pleasure! Some paintings you have to come to and learn from, and some come to you - this one came to me, effortlessly and in a good spirit.
