Persephone

Another one of my old oil paintings.
I was facinated by Persephone or Perspine myth and in this image wove in a vampire thread. Here she picks up the pomegranate in her hunger,but of course her real hunger is not for fruit. Evidently after being abducted by Hades she was bitten and turned..

Recently I have been thinking of sculpting Persperone in her traditional role.
