Rosy-Fingered Dawn and Eos’ Sister are sister pieces. Though painted several years apart they both are centered around this poem that I wrote.
Rosy-Fingered Dawn and Eos’ Sister
The first gods I noticed
were Eos and her sister.
They stayed outside though.
Skulking,
lurking
and spying
in the windows.
Trying to be inconspicuous.
But really,
can dawn slip over the eastern horizon
or sunset down the west unnoticed?
Eos’ Sister
Eos’ Sister, Eos’ being Greek for sunrise, is sunset, an event not often described in Greek literature. But I have painted her anyway, resting for a moment on her clouds but wearing a digital watch to keep track of the time.
