My Mural Painting up at Cal State Hayward (East Bay)

Monday I went up to Cal State to get some items I donated to
the Anthropology museum long ago. I took some quick pictures
of the murals I painted for my Anthropology professor, just
outside the Anthropology Department. Someone had already
started this one but I had to paint it and redraw a lot of the lines.
I like how I used many different shades of green.....Look at the
Ancient Astronaut- ness of the statue design....
This is an Incan relief portrait.


Here is my color replica of Coatlicue, the Aztec Goddess
who is the "Mother of All," she gave birth to all things- all
Gods and Goddesses, the Moon, the Stars, the Sun. Her
head is a double serpent, both looking at each other so that
both eyes look like they are looking strait ahead. She
wears a skirt of snake and a necklace of human hearts and
hands. Saila was pretty amazed.....this painting is big!


There is a half moon off to the left of the picture.....
I painted the entire outline and then only filled in half.
She liked to be out in the heavens and among the stars.
