One of my favourite things about the Odyssey is the repeated epithet of rosy-fingered dawn. It has a reassuring effect. Whatever madness happened the day before, the goddess of dawn would always arrive and bring in a new day, always early and always with rosy fingers!

I imagined her being immensely proud of her job to bring in the new day and sprinkling the world with dew.

I wanted this to be a joyful painting to represent a fresh start after the darkness of covid and lockdown.

For UK customers the painting will be sent ready to hang in a box. If ordering from outside the UK the canvas will be sent rolled in a tube with the wooden stretcher bars which will need to be re-assembled and re-stretched (Shipping cost is included to Uk and £35 to everywhere else)
