Dark Forest Perspehone Snow White Sleeps Away the Apple Digital Art Print

Description

The apple was of course poisoned. It was too early in the season for any proper apple. And no apple of the mountains had such a sweet dark skin, or such pale glow.

But when a girl has lived months in a dark cottage, on dark dry bread and dark cold water, any hint of color becomes an enchantment. Sweetness is worth a little death. And in the mountain winters there is little else to do but sleep...


***
I love the commonalities of fairy tales. Snow White may sing or be silent; she's a child or a young woman; she's a winter goddess or a peasant child; she gets put in a glass coffin, laid on a bier, kissed or shaken or insulted awake. But always, in her story, there's the seven little men, the heart of the stag, the two-colored evil apple. Why do these small poetic touches endure, when much larger plot points get shuffled around?

I think about these things, and then I realize I have overpainted my linework and curse my distraction. Anyway. Digital Art print, 8 by 5 inches.
