Lotus Eater 5x7

A Mourning Dove gazes at the viewer with delicate gold leaf halo, holding a sprig of lotus-inspired blue flowers. Set against a deep blue sky in an ornate blue and gold frame.

Odysseus encountered the "Lotus-Eaters" during his voyage, where they tempted his weary crew with fruit that offered blissful forgetfulness. This piece reflects that although it is enticing, we cannot find peace by avoiding life.
