My acrylics on canvas painting of Abanthis playing lyre for Gongyla
Please Abanthis your Sappho calls you:
Won't you take your Lydian lyre and play
Another song to Gongyla while desire still
flutters your heart-strings
for that girl, that beautiful girl: her dresses
clinging makes you shake when you see it, and i'm
happy for the goddess herself once blamed me
Our Lady of Cyprus
This poem written by Sappho has inspired me to make some pencil drawings and the painting above
You can watch me painting in the video below

A talented girl from Sappho's thaisos playing lyre in the sunset
Not one girl, I think, will ever look at the sunlight
of another time who has such talent as this one does
This words written by Sappho have inspired me to make a painting of a young girl playing lyre while she is watching the sunset
