Woman as Landscape, oil paint on canvas, 2009

I made this piece for a unit on nature. I thought that natura shared a lot of the same qualities as women. I guess it's not surprizing that we think of nature as being our mother. So, I created this painting to look like a landscape but tried to use only lines that can be found on the female figure. The gloomy colors represent the idea of the femme fatal that I have been reading about. The femme fatal is the archetypical female figure that is alluring or demonstrates masternal qualities, but once you are out of safety and in her grasp, she is more like a demon.
