"Ishtar, 'giver of light', is a Babylonian goddess. She represents the active and strong creative feminine. This is the third in a series of Ishtar paintings. Her name has appeared at various times in my life, giving me good reason to want to paint her. Here she has golden wings, in a form that has been depicted in history. Notice faces on either side of her which have not intentionally been painted. Several people have found this work to be of a healing nature."
