Original Abstract Acrylic Painting

Ishtar, (Akkadian), Sumerian Inanna, in Greek Mesopotamian religion, goddess of war and love. Ishtar is also Aphrodite, the ancient Greek goddess of love and beauty, identified with Venus by the Romans. She was known primarily as a goddess of love and fertility and occasionally presided over marriage. Ishtar is also the goddess of rain and thunderstorms and is was often shown with the lion, whose roar resembled thunder. The power attributed to her in war may have arisen from her connection with storms.

My painting is a tribute to the Goddess of Love and Beauty, and I believe every woman carries within her elements of the Goddess. We need to honor the love and beauty of a woman, and the various roles she plays in our lives – mother, wife, daughter, daughter in law, niece.
