So it began, so it shall end

This is definitely not my normal but it has proven to be pretty fun.

This work is a representation of certain religions.  From Eve, to the tree of knowledge, to the serpent, to the burning bush, to the crosses, and finally, to its end (shown to the right).


Huge thanks to Dirk for helping me get her scanned properly.   He has taught me a lot over a few years; he’s kind of like my mentor.  I don’t think I could ever thank him properly. ?


Just as a disclaimer, I am not religious.    This piece is a hopeful for a collective art book on the garden of eden.  I wanted to show the progression in a single image.
