"The Dryad" A print of the original painting by Emily Balivet, 2014. In Greek mythology, the dryads are female spirits of nature (nymphs), who preside over the groves and forests. Each one is born with a certain tree over which she watches. The lives of the dryads are connected with that of the trees; should the tree perish, then she dies with it. If this is caused by a mortal, the gods will punish him for that deed. The dryads themselves will also punish any thoughtless mortal who would somehow injure the trees. An 11" x 14" image printed on acid~free, archival quality matte photo paper, the print has a .25" white border allowance. Signed and dated on the back by the artist, the print is sealed in a protective cello sleeve and shipped flat. ~All prints are packaged professionally and shipped via Priority mail (within the US) ~Overseas shipping via USPS First Class International ~I offer shipping discounts on multiple purchases
