The title of my series is Paradise Girls, inspired by the book of Genesis, chapter one, in the Bible; it tells the story as to how earth was created. My series illustrates the beauty God created represented by women. These women have physical features from nature such as tree branches, flowers, skies, etc. The women represent the order each element or animal was created.
The first thing God created was heaven and earth, and image 1 is of mother earth. She has coffee brown skin, along with pale colored patches (vitiligo) in the shape of the continents; she is surrounded by a metallic gold halo to show how valuable and how she represents all aspects of earth. Much later, God said "...let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven." These are represented by images 7 and 8. Image 7 is a koi fish, with mustard colored skin, along with navy blue, silver, and red scales, and black cornrows with metallic gold beads. Image 8 is a toucan, she has white parts on the face and front of the neck, however the back and rest of her neck is black. Her beak hues of orange and red. The lime green background represents the quality of paradise that is being created. One of the few last things God created was "the beasts of the earth" which is image 12, a rhino. Her skin is painted the same smokey gray as a rhino, and her horn hues of neutral colors.
