A New Diptych-Week 11

Our Week 11 Diptych with Me on the Left and Susan 
on the right.
For Week 11 of the The Divine Diptych Project
Susan and I had the theme of "Allegory".  We both chose visual Allergories.  She chose to do her own photographic version of the Tragedy/Comedy Masks that were first used by the ancient Greeks in their plays where they wore masks to mimic life at their time.  These masks now symbolize Theatre all over the world.
I chose an Allegorical Painting done by Sandro Botticelli: his classic "Primavera" which depicts many Roman God and Goddess representative of spring.  Overtime, this painting has become a symbol of springtime.  I tried to turn myself into my version of his "Venus" pictured above. Whew!
