Jasmine's Surreal Painting
My granddaughter Jasmine commissioned a surreal painting, and this is what I came up with. You can see the cosmos behind everything.
"Persephone"
"Persephone", 36x60", acrylic on canvas. My experience of being married very young is here symbolized by the myth of Persephone, who dwelt in the underworld, a captive of Hades, until her mother negotiated to have her released half of each year. Persephone ate a pomegranate seed while visiting the underworld, and that mistake caused her imprisonment. The 3-headed dog Cerberus guards the underworld, but lets her pass at the beginning of spring and fall.
