My newest painting of the goddess Kore and the hand of Hades

This is my newest oil on canvas painting of the goddess Kore, the maiden aspect of Persephone, being taken to the underworld by the hand of Hades

Summer inside, winter outside

I just wanted to draw a silhouette with the summer sun inside while outside there is a cold winter but there is more than this in my drawing. There are hidden figures and emotions and the silhouette reminds me of a woman I once loved, her strength, her attitude. The character in my drawing looks feminine and strong at the same time, like an amazon.
