David and Bathsheba

While practicing my figure drawing and copying a seated figure from a book, I started to have a little fun with him, and gave him the tail, the mask and the cranial ridges. He seemed too passive, so I gave him an activity, and the bone harp was born. Of course, when I thought of the harp, I started thinking about what kind of strange musician he would be. David from the bible popped into my head, and of course who would he be looking at? Bathsheba of course, bathing on the roof.

You probably don't want me to start explaining my process or psyche any further. Don't worry, I can't explain it myself.
