Title: Pan At River Ladon
Name: Buddy Cunningham
Country: USA
Software: Painter, Photoshop
My first finished work posted here..I'm still very new at this but I was happy with how this turned out..
For those not familiar with the story it goes..
Pan fell in love with the Arcadian nymph Syrinx, who had until then eluded the pursuit of both satyrs and gods. Sirynx desdained Pan, and spurning his love and prayers, refused to take him as a sweetheart, who was neither man nor goat. The god then pursued her, but she came to the stream of the river Ladon in western Arcadia, and no longer being able to escape, she asked to the nymphs of the river to change her form. And the nymphs, listening to her prayers, turned her into marsh reeds. So when Pan wished to hold her, there was nothing left of her except the reeds and the sound which the air produced in them. On hearing it, however, Pan was charmed, and thinking of the nymph, said to himself in triumph:
"This converse, at least, shall I have with you."
