Painting of a woman with arms raised, hair and grey drape blown by wind, beside a tree in a meadow of daffodils.

Boreas

A young woman with flowing dark hair struggles against a strong wind, arms raised over her head as a grey drape billows around her body. She wears a blue patterned gown and stands beside a tree in a grassy meadow of daffodils, with trees and pale sky behind her, in oil on canvas.
