Leila's Rainforest
"Leila's Rainforest" was commissioned by my granddaughter Leila. I used reference photos to create a fantasy rainforest. 40x30" acrylic on canvas.
"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.
