This is an illustration from 'The Mythic Tarot' by Liz Greene and Juliet Sharman-Burke. It shows the mythic figure of Zephyrus, the youthful ruler of the west wind.
Tricia, I adore children's illustrators, especially the mythopoeic illustrators. Have you ever illustrated a book? Your mythologicial drawing is magical reminding me of the many wonderful fairy tales that Bruno Bettleheim refers to in his great book, The Uses of Enchantment. Doing this kind of detailed work is much harder than it looks, but you have met the challenge beautifully.
