Original Painting on Canvas “Raet”. A tribute Bas Relief portrait original painting by Artist Deborah Bowe. Original painting inspired by Raet Tawy, an ancient Egyptian Goddess. She was a solar goddess and described as the female aspect of the sun-god Ra. Her name is formed from his name and the longer version of her name (Raettawy) or Raet-Tawy means “Raet of the Two Lands” in reference to the unified lands of Upper and Lower Egypt. She was also considered the goddess of fertility. Fine Acrylics paint, dimensional paints, Pigments, Plaster on a Gallery Wrapped Canvas (it does not require to be framed). The process to create this painting is a lengthy one which consists in several steps, for each original painting it takes me from 4 to 8 weeks of work depending on the size of the canvas. Several applications of different art mediums are employed and only the finest art supplies are used to bring my Original Portraits Paintings to life. The edges have been painted also. Varnished with anti UV light and archival coating for longevity and protection. Signed and dated in the back. Sealed for longevity and protection.
