Adam and Eve

I've feeling good about the right side
of this design

But Adam needs something...
to be both more vulnerable
and more vigorous/youthful/manly
He needs to be erupting a little more from
his background












Birth of Venus


Maybe she needs to be little younger,
a little more like a spring
uncoiling.
(and the left side is not happy with the right)

I want a greater sense
of the difficulty of her emergence









Michael and Satan

I'm liking Satan's fall
more than Michael's triumph.

It's not quite majestic enough,
he's supposed to have
the power of the cosmos
after all.





"Mars and Venus
Heaving in the net
that limping Vulcan
and his Cyclops set"


I like Mars the best at this point,
maybe Venus needs to do
some more writhing ?
Overall -- the piece needs to feel
less cute and more monumental.

maybe I should throw
a net across Venus ?
