Hyacinth

Oil on stretched canvas  41 x 51cm   Sold

I am quite fond of the colours used here: white, violet and green.  And since these are the colours used by the early Suffragettes, I have included a quote from Rebecca West:

"People call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that  differentiate me from a doormat ".

And out of curiosity, I checked on the symbolic meaning of the Hyacinth.  Well, there are many meanings so I chose the one that appealed:

Hyacinths are flowers dedicated to Apollo, the Greek god of the sun who is also considered as the patron of the arts.
