For this week's prompt, the Venus of Willendorf was my inspiration. This statuette is a woman with large breasts, belly, and thighs, suggesting fertility. The statuette was created 24,000-22,000 BC. Here is the statuette:
My idea was to start with the statuette and create a real woman in a real situation. Surprisingly, Venus of Willendorf looks right at home on the beach.

Venus is lovely and an inspired thought process.

i love that you painted the goddess :)

Well you did a perfect job because I got the reference right away!
