This painting is inspired by Jamie Evans' poem "Zeus Split," which you can read here.
I read the poem and was struck by it. I decided to paint it but wasn't entirely sure how to go about it. The poem evokes all kinds of imagery so it was hard to decide what to go with. I finally decided to take the 'glossy sky' and contrast it with the sea and sand. I'm not too sure about my marshmallow clouds...
