Here’s a first draft for Justice. It’s far more stylized than the drawing for angelic temperance, but I’ll develop that drawing later. I’m enjoying this formal approach for a change. I think this is the natural progression from the very simple Numbers by Painting pieces I began and abandoned earlier this year. The number symbolism can carry into these large pieces fairly easily and add structure to the composition.

The owl resemblance is entirely intentional. Wisdom. I think it’s pretty cool.
I have to tell ya bro, it looks like an owl’s face.
Hmm. Very interesting with the Dress/blade. Is she wearing a harness that holds the scale? This will be interesting to watch develop.
PS-Would you be a good chap and link my website on the right with all the others? http://www.bretbays.com. That is where my blog has moved and where all new work is being developed etc.
Cheers,
Bret
