Description

Framed and Matted! Original hand-painting by Cheryle LL Gannaway (Morghaine's Faeries)

I've always been fascinated with Sekhmet-mut since I saw her statue at Hearst Castle. With one paw open and one paw closed, she brings balance to the harvest with the right amount of rain. But anger her, and her clenched fists bring the flood; her apathy brings the drought. Together with her sister of the East, Bast, she rules as the spirit of healing.

This piece is painted in the impasto (thick paint) style with the sun shining behind Sekhmet. I have left is void of color, as she alone determines the nature of the sun. However, the lower right corner shows the effect on the oases of the desert. Rather than the standard red, which is her color (read more on the internet about why that is...), I have presented her as the color of dawn or dusk, where we most truly appreciate the beauty of the sun.

This work ships for free with ground shipping in the continental US. Price of this piece includes framing, tax, shipping, and handling. For those in the Twin Cities area, a discount will be applied for picking up the piece (rather than delivery).

100 % of the proceeds will be donated to Panthera.org
