Medusa is a female Gorgon from Greek Mythology, described as having venomous snakes as hair. Gazing directly at her would turn the visitor to stone.
Medusas Hair was crafted from a close up photo of a Giant Spider Lily. The photo was converted to negative. Hue and exposure were adjusted. Wave filters were applied. The snake was isolated from one of my paintings with a Green Mamba as model. The mamba was multiplied in order to create the smaller snakes. While the big snake was adjusted in color and accentuated, the smaller snakes were treated with filters, each differently. The picture was fine-tuned with some painting and cloning.
