Whatever It Takes to Survive

This is a digital painting and NOT a photomanipulation. I'm doing a series of multimedia black and white paintings with the theme Resilience. I hadn't intended to add this to the series when I began, it was just going to be a practice painting. It ended up fitting in with the others but I still don't know if the owner of the stock I used as a reference is going to allow me to use it in an art show/selling situation.... oops for lack of hindsight!
