Dolly Parton: Danu (Avatar #9)

20 x 40 inch blue, green, and pink canvas of Dolly Parton channelling the ancient primordial Irish goddess, Danu. Here she is standing with the Paps of Anu.

I actually had a few magical encounters with Danu herself while making this piece. For instance-- I decided I needed to add some sheet music and turned my great American Songbook full of music from American musicals. I randomly opened it to the title page of Hello, Dolly. Well, hello, Danu!

Made with layers of magazine clippings, painted transparent papers, pastel, love letters, sheet music, and gold leaf.
