Head detail from Botticelli's "Birth of Venus"   ( large & small )
downloaded from www.artchive.com.  

This is not my personal ideal of feminine beauty, but I believe this was Botticelli's--and that he communicated this so artistically well, I felt behooved to use his image, here.  The more I worked with this image, the more beautiful she became.  I should become such an artist that someone in an unforeseeable time would feel that way about my work, and incorporate it in a strange future medium beyond contemporary comprehension.
