Artist's Comments

This is dedicated to a talented friend :iconcsnyder: whose Art reflects a love of simplicty and magickal landscapes and helped inspire this piece. Thanks for your support!!

Among the duties of the Greek Goddess Iris was that of leading the souls of the dead to the Elysian Fields. In token of that faith the Greeks planted purple Iris on the graves.
Elysium, equates to "peaceful". In Greek mythology, Elysium refers to the abode of the blessed, paradise. Situated at the end of the world, it is here, that those chosen by the gods/goddesses are sent to.
Thanks for viewing :shamrock: Phil

And thanks to the great stock providers

Upon first perusal ... I saw an angel in the Elysium fields, seeing an iris for the first time in centuries. It seemed to me she was filled with memories of Earth and its joys and sorrows.

Artists are magical helpers. Evoking symbols and motifs that connect us to our deeper selves, they can help us along the heroic journey of our own lives.
