After looking deeper into Ovid's metamorphosis I found another moon connection within the story. It seems that Jupiter, king of all Gods turned both Callisto, a nymph of Diana's, Goddess of the moon and her son Arcas, son of Jupiter. It is believed they became moons constellations in the sky. I came to the moon connection because the planet Jupiter in our Solar system also has a moon named Callisto. I found this connection really interesting and so google image searched the current moon.
This is an image of Callisto, Jupiter's Moon. I really like the colour and form of it. I think it also relates to the experiments I started really well and I plan to take my experiments back into this direction. Focussing on the colours, I'm going to paint some like this and also work with numbers and make two, as to represent both Callisto and her Son.
