"Night", oil on canvas, 30" x 20". Inspired by the passage from the Iliad:
"And when Zeus woke up was he angry! Throwing gods all over the house, and looking for me especially. He would have pitched me from aether to sea, no more to be seen, if Night, the Mistress, had not saved me. I ran to her, and he relented, reluctant to do anything to offend swift Night."
