"Demeter is the Goddess of grain and fertility, the pure nourisher of the youth and the green earth, the health-giving cycle of life and death, and preserver of marriage and the sacred law. Demeter taught mankind the arts of agriculture: sowing seeds, ploughing, harvesting, etc. She was especially popular with rural folk, partly because they most benefited directly from her assistance, and partly because rural folk are more conservative about keeping to the old ways. Demeter herself was central to the older religion of Greece. Relics unique to her cult, such as votive clay pigs, were being fashioned in the Neolithic. In Roman times, a sow was still sacrificed to Ceres following a death in the family, to purify the household."

Obviously a continuation of the series I'm working on. It's interesting to note, this image started out as another Goddess, but somewhere along the line, it became Demeter.. O.o

Demeter embodies warmth of a mothers love, which is why orange is such a perfect colour for this painting's background. Maybe you could try Iris, goddess of the rainbow. Anyway your work is simply DIVINE!

I think this is one of my favorite renditions of Demeter.
I love the colors you used and her pose and just...EVERYTHING!
