Daphne and Apollo


This is the first image in my college portfolio.  I originally painted this over the summer at the MICA pre-college program.  I reworked it, and this is the final result.  This painting is the basis for the rest of my college portfolio.  I am working on reinventing classical narratives in a modern sense.  This image reinvents the story of Daphne and Apollo, where i am portraying Peneus, Daphne's father.  I am driving the car that Daphne throws herself in front of in an attempt to escape from the pursuing Apollo.
