Jezebel Artwork

This is actually 3 attempts at a painting. I hung the first attempt in the front stairwell about 3 years ago, just for someplace to put it as we have space issues. I had to pass it every time I came in and went out. It bothered me every time. Finally, I took it down and started over. After a few days, I was still unhappy with it, so I rotated it a quarter turn from the horizontal position to vertical. Originally it was a painting of a Centurion about to throw a spear. After a disappointing effort to salvage that idea in the vertical position, I started roughing out a head at the top of the painting with no thought about identity. The head seemed to want to be a female so I gave in. The Centurion was gone and the female emerged as Jezebel. Jezebel was, of course, a wicked woman in the Bible. Her name has come down to us today as a derogatory term that some use to denote unsavory qualities of a woman they disapprove of.
