Painting + Photo Manipulation of Eve in the Garden of Eden ready to take a bite out of Original Sin. Always liked that fruit / apple metaphor. The piece is pretty lateral with only has two layers of depth, but the snake has some dimension [was my favorite part to work on]. Take look at its slithery tongue just barely touching Eve's fingertip as it eggs her temptation on with its hisses. I tried to shy away from being cliche...not sure how that worked out. I also didn't want Eve to be associated with any specific race, so kept her ambiguous.
I've always wanted to do an Eden piece with two parts for male and female, but wasn't inspired enough until I heard the lyrics of Wine Red by The Hush Sound:
Who shot that arrow in your throat?
Who missed the crimson apple?
And there's discord in the Garden tonight...
The rest of the lyrics can be found HERE. "Don't bite the apple, Eve!"
