My third image of Aphrodite and a Nereid lover. I find this one especially sweet. Do you agree? Comments welcome!
I’m offering this image because sometimes a kiss is not just a kiss… I hope you enjoy…
Here’s an image of Aphrodite enjoying a Nereid’s kiss. The kisses of Nereids are—as you might imagine—very special! (No wonder the Sea’s stirred up!) I have other images of her and Nereids kissing (Nereids necking? 😉) Those are actually more chaste than this one.

When I was in the 3rd Grade, Monet was one of my favorite artists. I’d just discovered oil pastels (being rather young for oil paints) and they were the perfect thing to do impressionist “paintings” on 5×7 notecards, inspired my Monet’s Water Lilies. I produced one, showed my mom, and she was impressed. She gave…
I tried out a slightly different style for this image, giving it a different feel. What do you think? Do you have a preference? Your views are valuable!
This is a more revealing version of the image I posted yesterday. Goddess do not hide themselves… I hope you enjoy!
Another ode to my favorite season
