Persephoneby ~seaspell

Traditional Art / Paintings / Surreal

Watercolor and pencil on illustration board,
10 x 8
2009

Model:

In Greek mythology, Persephone was the goddess of the underwold and of the Spring growth. Daughter of Demeter, goddess of the harvest, she was abducted by Hades and taken to the land of the dead. By a determination of the Fates, she was forced to stay for two seasons each year after eating pomegranates seeds, thus becoming consort of Hades and queen of the underworld. The painting depicts her sorrow after having the seeds.

Very calm and thoughtful. The lines flowing downwards make my mind peaceful...

Wow, I love all the images in this. Every one is beautiful, and it all works together to look sort of mysterious.

Excellent work on my favorite subject, which makes me hard to please (but you did).

This is truly truly stunning work, one of my favourites of yours.
I've always loved Persephone and hope to paint her in some form one day. This is outstanding
