Lady of the Pyramid

 A lone deer drinks on the beach by a calm purple sea. In front of it is a circular  pyramid  with mist surrounding the summit. Out of the mist rises a purple lady with red hair, her face looking down upon the deer below. Her hair down onto the pyramid, and it is difficult to tell where the hair ends and the mist begins. In the distance we see a white sun obscured by a grey cloud which floats across the sea, also blending into the mist in front of us. Is she a goddess? Is she the wind? Is she Mother Nature hungry for the deer? Is the deer bold to be close to the pyramid; and unafraid by this personification of nature? All I know is that it is a painting that has been in our house for a very long time, slowly moving from upstairs to downstairs as our rooms and lives are beginning to change.
