The first Adam and Eves that I did were after Masaccio's Expulsion from the garden of eden. Those works go back about 4 years ago. Recently I've been interested in their depiction before the apple. Especially Eve when she's feeling no shame. Those pieces were inspired by Cranach's version of the garden of eden.
I've also been drawn to the vistas outside the garden that are often a part of medieval manuscripts and later paintings. Two of the above landscapes were taken from a painting by Rubens of Adam and Eve where there is a snippet of a landscape (perhaps by Jan Brueghel) between the two bodies.
