Another new "old" painting. This is a concept I've been monkeying around with since 2001-2003, based on Learie's story which has since been removed from Domus Exsulis since it is going to be re-written and incorporated into the Saltwater Orphee novel. This is more symbolic than it is literal, but is also kind of a spoiler for Learie's story so I'm not going to say much more than I've been playing with the maiden-serpent archetype for a very long time indeed. Also, I am happy that the mood in this painting captures the mood and colors of the dream I had so many years ago, which spurred the telling of the Learie story.

** Here's the original digital sketch I made in 2001.
