Birth of Venus (Detail) by Mark Ryden

Since December is my birth month I thought it would be a little more dear to for me to post this. It's also the birthday of a distant cousin, Blair.

The above image is but a small piece of the entire painting. The entire painting is more esoteric on the whole, with the baby decending towards (or ascending from) a gash in the face of Abraham Lincoln. Those who are familair with Ryden will note that Lincoln makes many appearances in Ryden's work.
