The poet Sappho and her lyre from Lydia

This is my newest painting of the poet Sappho from the isle of Lesbos and her magic lyre from Lydia (the actual Turkey)

A poet's dream

On march 21 is the international day of poetry. Having this in mind I've made this drawing about poetry and writing in general, a drawing about a poets and his muse. The sad story of the lost love our poet Mihai Eminescu wrote about in many of his poems has inspired me too.
I've made the drawing as I felt and then I've seen something in it. The woman in this drawing reminds me of someone I once loved. Looking at her give me shivers. I can almost feel her close to me and I want to be in her loving arms... but it's just a drawing... a drawing that reminds me of her.
