Hail Britannia! Dump Trump!

I am going to paint Rena Victoria Easton as Britannia. How perfect! When I’m done, I will see if any of my titled friends on facebook want to purchase it. I will make posters for the Brits to enjoy. Who knows, William Windsor may want it on his wall in order to honor his beautiful wife.

Rena has the most beautifully shaped almond eyes like we see on the Corinthian helmut – that would look great on her. Now we put a spear in her raised hand – and problem solved!

All the images of Britannia are of Cutsie-pie girls that you would chase through a garden after you had a cup of tea. The image of Rena looks like she wants to – tear your heart out. She is capable of this.

One reason Rena has not come forth, because she is now a wrinkly old sea hag, and wants me to be inspired by the young beauty she was. I do wish she would send me old photos via e-mail- for Art’s sake!

I like that poster of old Uncle Sam with Britannia. Perhaps I will make a Britannia doll with accessories.

Rena is going to love this painting because she considered what her life would be like if she born male. She saw how unfair it is to be born a woman. Shall we go back to the Museum now, where Rena posed as Diana, the Goddess of the Hunt?

Perhaps I am Neptune – the Old Man of the Sea?

Come to me my beautiful Muse. Be by my side as I render you to music. I love the Sea Symphony, and Ionathan Livingston Seagull.

You can make me a cup of tea, come to me from the kitchen in your walker and old ladies shawl as I thrash about the studio throwing color and hunks of clay around! You can wipe my creative brow, and pop crumpets in my mouth. Your life with a true artist – true to you – could be so grand!

The National Armada memorial in Plymouth depicting Britannia
Britannia is an ancient term for Roman Britain and also a female personification of the island. The name is Latin, and derives from the Greek form Prettanike or Brettaniai, which originally designated a collection of islands with individual names, including Albion or Great Britain; however, by the 1st century BC Britannia came to be used for Great Britain specifically. In AD 43 the Roman Empire began its conquest of the island, establishing a province they called Britannia, which came to encompass the parts of the island south of Caledonia (roughly Scotland). The native Celtic inhabitants of the province are known as the Britons. In the 2nd century, Roman Britannia came to be personified as a goddess, armed with a trident and shield and wearing a Corinthian helmet.

The Latin name Britannia long survived the Roman withdrawal from Britain in the 5th century, and yielded the name for the island in most European and various other languages, including the English Britain and the modern Welsh Prydain. After centuries of declining use, the Latin form was revived during the English Renaissance as a rhetorical evocation of a British national identity. Especially following the Acts of Union in 1707, which joined the Kingdoms of England and Scotland, the personification of the martial Britannia was used as an emblem of British imperial power and unity. She featured on all modern British coinage series until the redesign in 2008.
