Ephemeral Shell
“Ephemeral Shell”
This painting (especially regarding the flower imagery) is vaguely inspired by the so-called “Schnitterlied”, an originally anonymous (tho later published, revised and quoted by several authors in the following centuries) German poem/song, dealing with fleeting nature of the material compared to the eternal nature of the soul (as appears to be quite common in texts of this era). I came across it when revising for my school finals (which I am still somewhat in the middle of, hence also the recent lack of posts, sorry).

My current main wip is frustrating me somewhat, so I painted this quick, one-layer doodle as a distraction and I might as well post it
Just a bit of messing around with colours.
(Reddish Orange and desaturated Green is not a combination I expected to work out, but it kinda did)

🌾 Demeter and Persephone 🌾
I guess springtime got me thinking about the two of them, which is kind of ironic since this painting is set just before Persephone's departure into the underworld.
I also thought the mother-daughter relationship and Demeter's grief at her daughter's marriage/ metaphorical "death" (as described in the Homeric Hymn to Demeter) would be interesting to explore artistically.

🌟The Magician🌟
(yes, we have apparently become pretentious enough to title our paintings)
I thought I might do something magic-related for Halloween, so here you go.
It's been several months since I picked up watercolours, due to this parts of this illustration are a bit rough, but I am low key kinda proud of the composition.

🕯️🕯️
It may not be Christmas anymore, but I recently finished re-reading Charles Dickens' 'A Christmas Carol' and so I present to you this illustration of the Ghost of Christmas Past. My interpretation of the spirit is not entirely faithful to the description written in the book, as some elements were either impossible to really depict artistically or I just couldn't be bothered to paint them.
