Lucy and Aslan
9 1/2 x 10 1/2″ oil on canvas
September 26, 2012
Inspired by the following passage from C. S. Lewis’ Prince Caspian:
“Will the others see you too?” asked Lucy.
“Certainly not at first,” said Aslan. “Later on, it depends.”
“But they won’t believe me!” said Lucy.
“It doesn’t matter,” said Aslan.
Why does Lucy have her hand over toward Aslan? And do the white doves symbolize the purity of youth that enables her to see him?
I should also have said that I love this piece: it’s message, mood, color, form, and composition. Beautifully and moodily done.
