Adonis! Aphrodite & Persephone's Boy (Toy)! 😳 2 Shockingly Beautiful 18x24 Wandering Straight Pours

[@xanthidinefelis8430]

In alchemy, the symbol for copper and the symbol for Venus, the Roman version of Aphrodite, are the same. And Persephone was the daughter of Ceres, goddess of grain and the harvest, so the golden grains on hers are perfect!

[@MinaVillegasArt]

Hi Xanthidine! That's really kind of awesome, especially since Aphrodite had been represented by the Copper in all of these paintings. 😊 Synchronicity! Thank you so much for sharing this information ❤️ I am intrigued by Persephone, she keeps popping up in a lot of these stories, I'm going to research her more 🌾❤️🥰 thanks for watching!

[@lynnejeffries6802]

How much paint, varnish, eater etc, looks nice!

[@kimberlychaney752]

OMG Mina! You did Persephone and Aphrodite justice. Adonis never looked so good!!!

[@naptimecreations]

Both are beautiful the 1st piece looks like a fire tornado. Its awesome 😍😍😍

[@autumnmoon4460]

I love them both, but Persephone takes the cake for me....so gorgeous!!!

[@lizreynolds4554]

Mina, There's a HEART in the lower Crimson part, Where it reaches up. I love this one with the red and black and gold bestest! They are both stunning, but this one just a tad more. Thanks for sharing your art and teaching us and inspiring us. Have a blessed day. Huggles always, Liz 👩‍🎨🎨🖌🖌🍀💖🤹‍♀️🦓🇺🇸😎

[@rosemarywalker7693]

There both gorgeous, I’m loving this series! Got to ask this question, have you ever spun your canvas off of the table while turning it around. You do it so effortlessly.

[@kathysobczak8935]

I liked that you scraped up the Xtra..your works are gorgeous.

[@MinaVillegasArt]

Thank you so much Kathy ❤️

Thank you fellow pour painter you are an inspiration!!!

These were great pours, Mina. Each one captured the myth you were interpreting. Love the bold and brightness. The gold is deep. Thank you... Laurie

[@gloriasgallery820]

Both paintings are beautiful! Love your stories of the Greek gods and goddesses. Adonis’ story is what happens when you can do what you want with no forethought for what can happen! Your work is amazing!

[@piecesinart7880]

Mina I am thoroughly enjoying this series, particularly the way you use color to showcase the individual qualities of each god/goddess🎨. They are uniquely beautiful as are you. My son brought mythology to my attention and made me a fan of the crazy if not dysfunctional stories! 🙃

[@cristabeardsley6319]

Love, love, Love, both of them! Absolutely Gorgeous! Thanks for the history lesson. PERSEPHONE turned out beautifully, reds really make it Pop. Thanks so much for taking me on this journey.

[@debrawichmann5152]

Both are beautiful...in their own way! Going to start reading stuff on mythology. 😉

[@stephaniemarshallward1520]

I'd never heard the story of Adonis's conception, but it definitely sounds in character for the Greek gods. I love the fact that their pantheon is a huge perverted, psychopathic dysfunctional family. Lovely artworks! The colors are glorious.

[@jacquelineforster2654]

Fantástico ❤️❤️❤️🌹🕉

[@chrissyfrancis8952]

I am LOVING the Greek Mythology & watching it evolve on your canvases! (PS I married my boy toy!😉

[@chrissyfrancis8952]

I’m so exited for these pours...(I never watch the finished pieces bc I like the surprise!) ZEN cameo!! I saw u Zen, hello baby!

[@MinaVillegasArt]

Zen purred and nodded his head when I gave him your greetings 😻 I'm glad you're enjoying the videos Chrissy, thanks for watching ❤️

[@chrissyfrancis8952]

Mina Villegas Art Animals KNOW animal ppl, even across the country! Working with animals is my job, I have such a connection, that I’ve been at stop signs & dog on a leash come up to my window. They read your soul, huh Zen! Zen snuck behind u when I saw him 1st time, his secret cameo, slinking back home after pounding the fur off of the neighbor’s cat.

Mina Villegas Art I went to a Greek Mythology competition in High school, I don’t remember much, but, hell, I don’t remember what day it is most times😉

Mina, both of these are lovely. I’m a Gemini so I can’t make up my mind, lol. I’m not into mythology but I do find you’re stories fascinating! And you still rock it every time! 🥰🎨🌹

[@KCoda1248]

Depends if you’re using it is a noun or a verb.

[@valerieromeos9592]

OMG! Your torch is a force to be reckoned with! Scared me, was in fear of you canvas going up in smoke! Are you some kinda theology student? Cuz dem God's and demi God's was all a bit Cray Cray! Tho enjoying your creative storytelling! New subscriber also only with you tube so , anxiously waiting! Your a hoot! Totally could hang with you and do some art work! So much fun, and very entertaining!

[@MinaVillegasArt]

😂 Thanks Valerie! Torchy and I have an understanding, he's cool, don't worry! (I haven't set anything on fire so far lol) 🔥👩‍🚒 I'm not a theology student, I just have a very active imagination lol and I like to research.. this whole 'Aphrodite Series' started because I wanted to recreate one of my early pours, Waiting For Aphrodite. She arrived all right! 😂 It all sort of grew from there.. My other videos don't all have gods in them lol just paint and me and lots of laughter. I hope you have fun! ❤️

[@cindydelamare895]

I have been trying silver. Just not fond of it. It seems to go blah or muddy. You are teaching me about the weight of the paint and seeing not only it movement, but also when it's done. Thank you :). I like the blue one.

[@cynthiareid2069]

Sooo love your videos and your happy laugh 💕💕💕 All these mythical gods .. I would love if u would try and paint pour your rendition of the Glory of our God ... His mercy and grace ...

[@marissab3149]

Beautiful paintings! I love that you are bringing in Greek mythology! I have a quick question about how you mix your white paint, do you use pouring medium of just use Floetrol? Do you add water? Thanks so much!!

[@diherself9778]

Loving this series, Mina, and your storytelling as well! I have a question - does the silver you’re using actually look like silver after the painting dries? I guess I’m another that’s been spoiled by the total bling of DA’s 24K Gold, and I’m having trouble finding a silver version. Thanks so much for sharing your time and talents! 🥰🎉

[@lindaferguson6661]

Love this series of paintings!!! Do you enclose the back of your paintings?

[@MinaVillegasArt]

I do not.. I'm getting better at keeping them cleaner though 😁 I enjoy the organic look

[@marilynwoodson672]

Gorgeous paintings I've ever seen in my life I'm having trouble with mixing my paints their watery not sure what I'm doing not even sure if I brought the right kind of paint and I just brought acrylic I think they're called basics it has no gloss or shine and I'm not sure what can you please help me with thatif any way possible please and thank you and may God bless you and may God keep your family safe out of harm's Way

[@virginiasetlock9670]

Persephone was married to Hades so you have some fire going on

[@jeannecain9541]

Amazing, I’d of had mud by the middle of the first pour...! There’s magic in this mythology! Curious why you are adding Behr house paint and what proportions? I’ve always had “speckling” problems with house paint...

[@MinaVillegasArt]

Hi Jeanne! I used housepaint in the pour that started this all off, Waiting for Aphrodite. It created these awesome cells that I want again 😁 if you check out Elyse Fournier you can see the cells I mean, her work is phenomenal!

[@jeannecain9541]

@@MinaVillegasArt Yes I've seen her results, but once again it's probably in the "chemistry" of the paint and we can't get her house paint here int the states; guess keep experimenting!

This is the most difficult medium I have ever tackled !!!!!

[@alextheunderduck]

#147 today.

[@rainbo1030]

I love them they're so beautiful! I was crowned Aurora the goddess of dawn in the Miss American goddess pageant probably like 15 years ago it's a plus size pageant and it was great I had so much fun and the only sucky part is that the ones who won were like size 14 which is not anyting close to what I consider plus size cuz I'm well now I'm size 22 but then I was about 28-30 something like that so that kind of sucked! Because there was some really beautiful big women who should have won even more than me they were very beautiful and this one girl dressed up like a mermaid and I don't even know what Goddess that is but she looked amazing and she was bigger than me maybe like 32 or even a 40 I'm not sure anyway thought I would share I really liked it and it reminded me of that experience it was a great experience even if I didn't win I was so grounded beautiful goddess so yay for me! Haha!

Hi Dawn! What a great story! That sounds like it was a lot of fun and you really enjoyed yourself, that's awesome!! Thank you so much for watching and commenting ❤️ have a great day!
