SciFi and Fantasy Art Urania. by Billy Mosig

I did this picture for a school project. It's made with watercolours. We were suposed to make an artistic creation about meassurments (the class was Physics Laboratory). I came upon the idea of portraying Urania, the muse of the sciences (and the one in the middle) aided by her scientific priestess (each one holding one or more meassuring devices). It was also supposed to be similar to the greek vase art, so I used monochromatic colors and defined shapes. It got me two extra points in my final ;)

11 Feb 2006	Elizabeth Z. Johnk	Loading... This is my favourite of yours. It's lovely! You did such an excellent job of portraying it so classically, yet this is a very unique piece of art. Really cool! ^_^ Billy Mosig replies: "Thankyou!! I'm waiting to go back that rode sometime soon and do a couple of similar watercolours, at least something that is greek-inspired. I'm grateful for your comments!"
14 Mar 2006	Anon.	Loading... Gorgeously rendered, plus it made me laugh. So unexpected! I love Greek art and mythology and I am a scientist by training, so this was a really fun find. Thanks! Billy Mosig replies: "Thanks! I guess it is a little humurous, especially for people who do know all those measuring items!"
29 Jun 2006	Trude Ersvik	Loading... great job! The composition is really good and the proportions are great! i like the whole ancient Greek touch. You must be a very creative person... It`s original and looks great. No mods choice? Thats outrageous.
30 Jun 2006	Sean Daily	Loading... I agree... no mod's? The technical skill alone that you demonstrate in this piece is amazing. Can't think of any criticism for this. Excellent job.

25 Jan 2008	Sherri L. White	Loading... OK...that’s it...I can’t take much more of your greatness. I want to be you when I grow up!!! ( I’m 54 so I guess that will never happen)! You’re too good! And so young...just ain’t right! Wow!!!

7 Jun 2010	Silvannen Mystic Dragonrider Gerrard	Loading... Wow! This is really good......you could probably pass it off for an actual photo of a greek vase!
