Persephone

This is my entry for the Three Muses challenge this week where the theme is " Spring".    This digital collage is made with imagery from e-vint.com, Beth Rimmer  and Evelyn at Deviantscrap; all blends and filters in PSE.  I chose Persephone as the goddess of Spring as she returns to the surface of the earth from the underworld to renew and bring forth all flowers and new growth. There are signs of her presence everywhere and it is important to stop and look for her cues!

    Wouaouh! It looks like a Klimt's square landscape!
    Persephone seems dreamy & meditative?
    Is she wandering if time is gone to come to surface now? Surely, she's coming!
    Very beautiful work Lori!

    Beautiful! I love the story of Demeter & Persephone...Surprisingly when I took my Mythology class in college, quite a few people had never heard of the story. Thanks for showcasing this peice.

    I just don't have the words to explain my reaction to this painting. Suffice it to say that I am absolutely gob-smacked! The Klimpt influence is evident, but you've most definitely made it your very own "Raven-style." I love it, Lori.

    Persephone was able to burst forth easily here this year. And she seems to have arrived for the Three Muses Challenge in all her glory. Just lovely.
