The Lion & The Snake

I had an idea to paint a lion. For one, I have this old, ugly tattoo on my leg of a panther fighting a snake. I got it when I was very young and I hate it. I was thinking that if I ever got a tattoo done over it, it would probably be a lion. I started this piece as a sketch with that in mind and it became a small painting. I then decided to create a sort of polar opposite piece. The theme became a type of Biblical "Good vs Evil". I see this tattoo as spiritually evil, signifying conflict and anger, something that I struggled with my whole life and I can't help but feel that this tattoo had a strange part in it. Of course I could be wrong but who knows? These two pieces were a small journey in thinking about that tattoo and the conflicts of my life as well as good and evil as a whole.
