I think this will be a much more peaceful spot for the goddess VP!

Quite a sculpture, and in a good location.

I like the balance in your composition. Would be fine to live here and look out upon a goddess.

Well executed sculpture, at least from the backside. I'm wondering who or what she's waiting for.
