' Holly King and Ivy Queen ' - New original painting

The Holly King holds hands with the Ivy Queen within a stone circle under a new moon as they welcome in the light at the Winter Solstice.  A celebration of Yule of love and hope. 

The story often told  every year, after the harvest, the Holly King takes on the Oak King in single, mortal combat. Of course, the Holly King must win, but the Oak King will rise again in the summer. The winter cold belongs to the Holly King, and to the Ivy, his Queen. Together they represent life and hope in the depths of winter,  the green holly with red berries and the evergreen ivy.  They stand together welcoming back the light on the winter solstice eve.  A large painting hope shining with love and hope ready for your walls .
