"Kronos Expelling His Children" watercolor, 18"x 24", watercolor, 2012
I'm helping my parents move this week to the frozen north lands (Minnesota). I won't be in my studio making new paintings so I've decided to re-list on eBay some of the pieces that were most popular. This is Cronus - in ancient Greek myth he ate all his kids (Hera, Hestia, Demeter, Poseidon, Chiron) except one - Zeus. Zeus gave him an emetic and the rest is mythical history.
Here is a famous rendering of Cronus:
I always thought this painting was by Goya but the source I borrowed it from says it's by William Blake. Doesn't look like Blake's style at all (see below).
