"Forbidden Fruit" Acrylic on Canvas.
152.5 x 68.5 cm. 2021.
" And when the woman saw that the tree was good (suitable, pleasant) for food and that it was delightful to look at, and a tree to be desired in order to make one wise, she took of its fruit and eat..." - Genesis 3:6 (Amp.)
The eyes that see are not common. One wonders how long Eve had been in the garden of Eden and never considered the virtues enshrouded in the fruit of that particular tree in the middle of the garden until the serpent drew her attention to it.
How many hidden virtues the individual carries that could turn the life around victoriously wealthy, and also affect life uncompromisingly when they are prematurely exposed.
"Forbidden fruit" is an insight into the mood of the daughters of Eve that erred, in deep thought about possible retribution of a failed trust. It is representative of an average individual's exposure to error of judgement when off-guard.
The painting is the second of the Daughters of Eve series. An impressionistic, stylization of the nude and head silhouette.
