Ladies Of The Season!

On the latest anniversary of my nascency, my romantic conquest gifted me a most delicious book about Alphonse Mucha which was filled with his works relating to the seasons, elements and solstices. One day, I will consume his essence.

Here's my take on the seasons, in my own style.

SPRING


I wanted Spring to be somewhat of a free spirit, the mistress of the carnival bursting through the icy snow. Ecclectic, sensual and welcoming, like a rose without thorns. 

SUMMER 


I went in a decided sexier direction for Summer, which I likened to the women of Brazil's Carnivale. Suitably dressed for the weather, I wanted her to portray the energy and wild abandon of the season.

AUTUMN


Autumn's more understated as the cycle of seasons draws to a close. A shedding of leaves so to speak, as Nature's kiss turns the once green leaves golden.

WINTER


Meant as a stylized portrayal of the Inuit women folk, Winter dons a heavily padded suit of segmented armor. Introverted and defensive, there is no warmth or solace to be found in the bite of her harsh winds.


Here're the ladies side by side! Please enjoy responsibly.
