Leaving Eden

Description

Designed especially for the Elite Artists competition

My ideas were really coming from a feminist point of view as the concept of Eden and Christianity seems to be rather down on women in general....not quite as holy as men, weak to temptation and ofcourse it was Eve's 'sin' that lead to her and Adam being banished from paradise (personally I'd have done it for a cream doughnut).

Rather than the leaving of Eden being a sorrowfull event and Eve leaving meekly behind a pissed off Adam, I wanted to explore the angle of Eve leaving of her own free will in a possative way......to seek out other women and reveal the Goddess within , being one with nature and the seaonal turning of the year, the ebb and flow of fertility and life.

Oh come on now! You're reading my mind and seeing what kind of images I'd love to see on DA and then you're creating them! ;) (Just kidding. I have no imagination for art. I just love to admire it.)

This is really fantastic. And I love what you said about Eve. Reminds me of something I wrote back in the day for my website (which I was going to share, but I realize my post is already too long.)

I've learned to keep my "blasphemous" thoughts mostly to myself these days since so few people care anything about it. Glad to see that you're someone who cares. I'd love to see more feminist/Wiccan art like this.

(Sorry to ramble in your comments. I'm not much an artist, but I do love to write.)
