goddess painting of the day: Psyche

I’ve long been enthralled with the story of Cupid and Psyche. Over the years, it’s inspired numerous works of art and words from me. Here is one I’ve painted of Psyche, which was created for The Lover’s Path Tarot. She was painted in oil washes over watercolor, gouache and inkjet on Arches paper.

Psyche, the beloved of Cupid, is presented here as the graceful Princess of Arrows. Before she could be reunited with Cupid, Psyche needed to gain wisdom, represented by the tasks set to her by Venus. Butterflies flutter about the Psyche in this painting, symbolizing the transformation the she yearns to achieve.
