A Celtic Huntress
Someone left a comment about this painting, located in San Francisco presently, but painted in 1890 by George DeForest Brush. It's called A Celtic Huntress. And there she is, the fast fast dog herself, holding an arrow on one side and a canine on the other. I don't know this woman but I instantly identified with her stature, build, haircut, companion and hobby. I don't share the ginger locks but this is a woman after my own heart. Darken her hair a bit, give her a rounder nose, bigger boobs and a border collie and you have a modern Celtic Huntress. How funny. I had no idea a little bit of my spirit was in San Francisco. I bet Mr. Brush didn't think a bit of his painting's spirit was in Jackson.
Our stories aren't ours. They are the world's.

Thanks for sharing, as I fell in love instantly with this beautiful painting. You should pose for your own updated, modern version. Wouldn't that be a hoot?
That last line...right on. And even death cannot take them away.
I think she speaks for the ideal woman: strength, grace, sexuality. No-nonsense, seductive femininity. The real kind. Oh, and the kind that probably scares men.....
I left out another important word: AUTHENTIC.
I agree with e.m.b. - great last two lines. Yes.
I have the hair and the brindle dog!
The world needs more bad-ass women like this! She looks like she means business...
And she has glow in the dark white skin too.
