Love Dearly

I am always fascinated with Greek myths which content lots of rich meaning to be investigated. Among the myths, the story of Cupid and Psyche especially inspires my thinking. It seems like a favored topic of the artist in 19 century, William-Adolphe Bouguereau, too. The hugging part of his artwork "The Abduction of Psyche" evokes my sense of touch and a tender feeling. Without the facial part from Bouguereau's work, the loving couple can be every couple in the world. In my painting, I try to crystallize my feeling toward to the artwork and awake numbness.
