Persephone–Spring Awakening Original
Persephone–Spring Awakening Original
Story Behind The Art
11x14 Watercolor + Gouache on paper
Persephone walks forward into barren land and life erupts in her wake. What appears to be her green dress is something more: it flows out behind her and becomes the world itself. Fresh grass, blooming flowers, the colors of a season reborn. She is not separate from nature. She is its source.
In the background, horses graze on the last of winter's dead grass, unhurried and powerful and free.
This piece is for anyone who has lived through their own underworld season. A winter that lasted longer than it should have. A part of themselves that had to go underground before it could bloom. Persephone's return is your return. It's time to resurrect, it's to plant something new.
Care
To ensure the longevity of your piece please frame right away. Natural light and exposure to air or water are the enemy of artwork. A glass frame (as opposed to plastic) is always preferred. Choose a spot on the wall out of direct sunlight. For original artworks I always suggest having them framed by a professional framer for a sealed back that further portects your artwork.
