Sculpture of Paris series, 1: Victory of Samothrace
This marble sculpture of a figure depicts the goddess, Nike, on the prow of a ship. It stands on a staircase landing in the Louvre, beneath a skylight. The flowing drapery exemplifies one of the key distinguishing features of Hellenistic Art (early second century B.C. (190 – 200 B.C.)).
For email followers who don’t see the feature image in their email, here it is:

Appreciation: special blog post for Susie Lindau
For Susie Lindau
My heart is full today
of this magic of life,
this meeting of minds
and desire for more.
You were one of my first blog
visitors.
You make me laugh,
inspire me to donate,
share my love of skiing
and writing,
and make me stop delaying my
mammogram.
You face your challenges
head on,
you share and inspire
so others benefit.
You enrich the blogosphere
and your many fans are holding your hand
today,
and appreciating the doctors
and medicine that will keep you here
for more,
and appreciating most of all,
You, Susie Lindau.
