Illustration Friday: "Bloom"



This was done very quickly. Inspired by (another) Greek myth of Persephone and her mother Demeter. I imagine this as the reunion (if persephone was a child)or her fond memories of her bountiful childhood.

Persephone is the daughter of Zeus and Demeter. She was the goddess of springtime and, after her abduction by Hades she became his wife and Queen of the underworld for six months of each year. When she returned, her mother would come out of mourning and thus, springtime.

The change to illustrations being announced on fridays has thrown me for a loop, let's see if I can adjust :)
