The Reasons For The Seasons is a visually rich exploration of the Winter Solstice as a shared human moment, told through painted iconography drawn from a wide range of spiritual traditions, mythologies, and belief systems. Created by Florida-based artist Ron Bell, the book presents more than twenty gods, goddesses, and mythic figures associated with seasonal cycles, light, renewal, and transformation.

Developed through a deeply personal spiritual journey, the work reflects Bell’s return to an inclusive understanding of faith that honors curiosity, reverence, and connection across cultures. Each figure is rendered in a traditional iconographic style using natural, earth-based materials, emphasizing ritual, craftsmanship, and intentional process.

Rooted in Bell’s Florida studio practice, The Reasons For The Seasons is both contemplative and celebratory, serving as a tribute to spiritual diversity and the enduring human impulse to find meaning in the turning of the year.

Available November 2026.
