"Orpheus"
"Orpheus", 24x32", acrylic on canvas, is from a dream, where Orpheus is on a pier with his bus, waiting to take me somewhere ...
"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.
