Benten

70 cm x 90 cm, oil on canvas.

Based on the Asian deity Benten (Benzaiten), in Japanese mythology one of the Shichi-fuku-jin (Seven Gods of Luck); the Buddhist patron goddess of literature and music, of wealth, and of femininity.
She is often shown playing the biwa, a kind of lute. I however wanted to paint an interpretation in which she's playing an electric guitar; a Gibson Les Paul.
