lovely watercolors; i like the tree very much
The middle one is my favorite. I like the look on her face. Beautiful colors, too.
The second face on the tree is interesting. What does it represent, if anything?
Hi Brendan - thanks for the compliments. The face on the tree was my imagination toying with what a Tree of Knowlegde might look like. I thought it should be distinguished by something a little more symbolic than fruit alone. :-)
BRAVO, Belinda! Truly beautiful!
Lovely!!
BEAUTIFUL with just the right 'tempting-ness' ... truly truly on the mark and exquisite!
Lovely, such great rich lush colours. An inspiration!
You never know where you will find inspiration. You have posted beautiful work. Thank you
Just great consept of opposites .... Sure is hard to be a women going for good vs good in life!
Hi Belinda,
Wow, how quick is "quick"? I remember when I first saw this earlier Eve etching (Sure Temptation) and I've always really liked it. Nice to hear how it came about.

My response:
You know, I was gonna guess something like that, regarding the face on the tree. One thinks that the Tree of Knowledge should be personified, and not just be a piece of swag that could be used to tempt Eve. Nice, B.
Speaking of the entity that does the tempting: It has been noted many times that the entity that lures Eve, in the original telling of the myth, is not a snake, but is merely specified as a "serpent."
Perhaps a challenge to present an alternate portrayal of the serpent could be the seed for a new painting.
I'm thinking of caricatured Republicans, of course, but that's just me, and I can't draw for beans.
But if I could . . .
Belinda -- The Eve series is really fascinating! I love how the apple is so large in the latest one ... like it has increased in significance or something (?)
I love the face (or mask?) at the tree. In a way it makes the tree to be part of the game too - so it's not only a question of good-evil but circumstances, the world around too. I think it's right.
Thankyou for quickstarting my braincells today!
Hi Belinda! Another masterpiece! Love the detail work on the apple,and it's leaf. I marvel at how you can create such wonderful faces in such a small space! Very interesting story about how "Eve" came into your art!
your finished watercolor is stunning. Such rich colors. I adore your work.
Wow, I love the eve’s fruit – the innocence and the temptation, what a perfect choice of opposites. It is really a treat to see “in progress” and finished – lovely layers!
Incredible! Absolutely stunning work!
hey belinda, these are absolutely stunning!! i love eve sitting coyly on the apple :) cheeky girl!
