This is a little different for me.This actualy started out as an experiment lol
I have a canvass I've been working on for a bit and can't seem to get back to it so I decided to get a pic of it and play around in digital and here lies the result mixed media Ps cs3, Aics3, oils,and digital painting.Thought this was a perfect subject for the time of year.
Hope you Enjoy!! :) and Thanks for looking

Persephone is the goddess of the underworld in Greek mythology.
She is the daughter of Zeus and Demeter, goddess of the harvest.
Persephone was such a beautiful young woman that everyone loved her, even Hades wanted her for himself.
One day, when she was collecting flowers on the plain of Enna,
the earth suddenly opened and Hades rose up from the gap and abducted her. None but Zeus, and the all-seeing sun, Helios, had noticed it.
Broken-hearted, Demeter wandered the earth, looking for her daughter until Helios revealed what had happened.
Demeter was so angry that she withdrew herself in loneliness, and the earth ceased to be fertile.
Knowing this could not continue much longer, Zeus sent Hermes down to Hades to make him release Persephone.
Hades grudgingly agreed, but before she went back he gave Persephone a pomegranate (or the seeds of a pomegranate.
When she later ate of it, it bound her to underworld forever and she had to stay there one-third of the year.
The other months she stayed with her mother. When Persephone was in Hades, Demeter refused to let anything grow and winter began.
This myth is a symbol of the budding and dying of nature.
