The Four Winds

So recently I had to do a series for my final project in my watercolor class. I decided to do the four winds according to Greek mythology. For each one, the filigree border forms into a compass arrow pointing in the direction each wind blows. The borders are inspired by Alphonse Mucha.


The first one, Zephyrus. The West wind associated with spring.


The second one I did, Boreas. The North wind. Winter.


The third, Notus. South. Summer and Fall.


The last, Eurus. East. No particular season.
As he is the odd-wind-out I made him the last piece in the series and made it so that he is the only wind looking out at the viewer.
