Inspiration Artist (photographer):Pete Eckert


 




While listening to the history channel I came across an odd story. An Arab Sheik was pleased by the advice of a Jewish sage. In appreciation he presented the Sage with a woman to take as a wife. to take the woman The Jewish sage needed to "purify" the pagan woman. He did this by performing a ritual involving honey. this story comes from the Gnostic text of the pre-cannon bible. I decided to try to illustrate the story. The image I came up with is a pretty young girl in a glowing yellow swirling light. She is nude and covered in swirls of dripping honey. She holds a piece of honey comb.
