Dressed in gleaming golden metals and shimmering stones that gleam like the rising moon, a centaur priestess performs a rite of worship in an exotic dance.   I love to explore the possibilites of a most improbable creature...the centaur!  If these beings did exist, I imagine they would share much of human desires and culture, and yet, be totally unique, too.  Like many human cultures, dance would be a powerful form of expression for both pleasure and religion, so, in this little painting, I attempt to give beauty of form and expression to my centaur priestess as she dances to both please and appease her gods.
