Inspiration - Diana la Cazadora

Recently I remembered the statue of Diana (the Roman goddess of hunting) that I had seen in Mexico City several years ago.  She is a very impressive figure.  I thought it would inspire me to hang an enlarged version in my bedroom, but I only had a tourist photo of the statue and it wasn't attractive or high quality.

I looked at Google images for "Diana la Cazadora" and came across an incredible photo by Oswaldo Ordonez, who is a teacher and photographer in Monterrey, Mexico. I wrote to him and asked him if I could have permission to have the photo enlarged onto canvas and he sent me a large, high quality digital file version.  I am so grateful to him for taking this photo and sharing it with me.   You can see more of Oswaldo Ordonez' photography here.

(The canvas print was done by Canvas on Demand.)

Here is a typical tourist photo of the statue, to give you an idea just how awesome Oswaldo's photo is. 

And here is a cool photo of the live model, Helvia Martinez Verdayes, posing with the statue in 1942.
