I was curious about the poses that the French artist Bouguereau painted. Seemed tricky. So I got my model to tackle one of them and sure enough those twists were impossible. So I worked on it in half: did the waist up and then the next day did hips to feet. This is the top half.

I liked this when you first posted it, as a well done piece of art. It is more of a story as well as art, so I feel you have added depth to the work.

Love the crows! Is the black all ink? Or is the white added over a black ground?
