Cleo's Green Bee Eater, 16 x 20, acrylic

Part of a series of Women and Botanicals, this painting captures Elizabeth Taylor as Cleopatra from the well known movie that is full of SO much color, costume and over-the-top glamour. This painting combines Honey's love for exotic birds, glamorous iconic women and flowers, which in this case, happen to be the poisonous ingredients of Cleopatras alleged suicide concoction: Wolfsbane, Hemlock and Poppy.
