It wasn't until i had completed this painting, that I realized the idea wasn't completely original. It was similar to a image that I had recalled from a boyhood memory of a famous album cover by The Ohio Players called "Honey". As I remember, my older cousin had it displayed on his wall(can't do that now with a CD cover, LOL). The image was the distinctive profile of a naked woman with a large spoon, holding a jar of honey against a black background. Here is a link: http://wfnk.com/ohioplayers/images/cv_honey.jpg That album, I think was from the seventies. Its amazing how images can lay dormant in our self-conscious for all those years! ^_^

Who could forget "Love Rollercoaster" one of my all time favorite songs. And the beautiful nude model on the cover with the dripping honey... Nice work, as usual. slyDelfina Mendonça 02 Jan 2009
