Astraea – "star-maiden" or "starry night", in ancient Greek religion, is a daughter of Astraeus and Eos. She is the virgin goddess of justice, innocence, purity and precision. 'Astraea' is one of my first oil portrait paintings on an aluminium panel. The painting posed for by my daughter when she was younger and it tries to capture the quiet reflection, innocence and purity the goddess represents. This style I used for this portrait was heavily influenced by the surface it was painted on – which had no 'tooth'. So this made the application of oil paint more challenging. The brushwork had to be carefully considered and applied as I learned how to manipulate the paint and how each area had to pre-painted to support the desired next layer. I am trying these more expressionistic techniques in my portraits is because I'm striving to convey more than just accurate representations. People are so much more than how they look. In painting, I feel obliged to try and convey that.
