Tag As FavoriteComment		Acrylic on canvas, 2003. I started painting this shortly after the US invaded Baghdad. The army discovered a secret love nest of Saddam's in suburban Baghdad and I read a description of the paintings that were in it. I was inspired by the lurid description of one:
'One of the air-brushed paintings depicted a topless blonde woman, with a green demon behind her, pointing a finger at a mythic hero. From the tip of her finger came a giant serpent, which had wrapped itself around the warrior.'
I messed up in retrospect by not making her a blonde. Oops. Anyway, after I started the picture I saw photos of the original by Rowena Morrill- slightly different, but I think I captured the hectic and silly nature of the piece.

I must say I like yours better than the original, a matter of taste I suspect. Once again, an inspiring piece of artwork. The serpent is especially affecting.

I agree. Much better than the original. It was cool seeing how you made it so similar, though, just from reading a description.

This is a very powerful image to have seen in your head - truely artistic - should be a mods star choice : )

Yup yup! Much better than the original. There’s more feeling to it, a certain wildness that fits the action in the picture.

I already had a print of the original, but this is colorful and sexy.
