This is a little piece that is the result of my being rather bored and wanting to make art, even though I didn't have a really concrete idea in mind of what exactly I wanted to make. I thought I would just put some images together, play around, see what happened, and decide what the message was during the process. Sometimes that's how I work. Somewhere along the way, I decided this character was one of Neptune's many concubines. However, those of you familiar with Greco-Roman mythology also know how fickle the gods could be when it came to their mistresses. They often moved on and forgot their former paramours as soon as they found the next pretty face. This particular one, depite the ill way Neptune has treated her and tossed her aside, remains faithful... forever watchful and waiting. I decided to add the spider webs to show just how long this has been her situation. This piece is living proof that you don't have to have a specific idea in mind when you start your project to wind up with something you can be proud of. The model for Neptune's forgotten mistress is `lockstock, and the rest of the images used in making this come from clipart.com and sxu.
