"Boreas" by John William Waterhouse, 1903, oil on canvas ~ She must be feeling the presence of Boreas, Greek god of the North Wind, or perhaps sad thoughts or feelings are buffeting her....from Serena
It reminds me of some of the grey cloudy days of winter in Michigan. Even the blue grey of her shawl fits in with those moods and the color of the sky and background. It seems like you have been in tune with colors, and the moods they convey in your last two pictures you gave us Serena.
I think everyone can relate to having those moods sometime in their life. When those north winds (Boreas) hit in the midwest late October and early November you know whats ahead till spring. The painting sends a mixed message though. There
can be beauty even in inclement conditions: as seen in the lone flower in her hair and the remaining flowers on the ground
and the tree behind her.
The artist combines romanticism (the picture of the woman) with a bit of Van Gough (the trees and sky in the background).
