Liz.
Remember her?
I did a kind of randomesque
piece on her in the middle of a disco at
a Dr. Who convention a couple
of years ago in LA.
Well, two pieces I guess - if you count both arms.
That's her hubby, Vasilios, standing in the background.
He was the one providing music for the disco.
This was a fun, fun night!
But back to THIS night. Again - a fun one.
I hadn't seen Vasilios OR Liz... or most of the other
folks there that evening in
quite some time.
So... St. George and the Dragon!
And Liz!
(((I'm having trouble flipping this picture. I have NO idea why!)))
Legend has it that St. George happened
upon a road which went through an area where
people appeased a local dragon with a couple of sheep
per day, serving as a sort of "protection fee".
Much like what hoodlums may demand
of a small store owner.
Except for that part about the sheep.
Anyway, St. George had been asked to
stay OFF this road, but he vowed to remain.
While in conversation with a local princess, the dragon
reared out of the lake, St. George showed the sign of the
cross, wounded the dragon, then fitted it with
the girdle of the princess, afterwhich the
dragon followed her around
as gently as a pet.
But then later, he killed it anyway because the local
peasants were frightened.
peasants were frightened.
Or something like that.
St George and the Dragon
is ALSO a really cool number on Toto's
second album, Hydra.
They've kept with the sword motiff for many
of their last 30ish years...
...And this may be the REAL reason for me
naming this session as I did.
Although with swords of this type generally having a
cross-shape, it seemed to fit.
St. George and the Dragon...
...and Liz!
Another shot for contrast...
...And another with a bigger smile.
Thank you Liz.
And thank YOU for stopping by...
and MAYBE... for being the next canvas.
I'm ALWAYS looking.
