Inspired by the legend of La Llorona.
From the wikipedia entry:
La Llorona (“The Weeping Woman”) is a widespread legend in Mexico, Puerto Rico and Central America. Although several variations exist, the basic story tells of a beautiful woman by the name of Maria killing her children by drowning them, in order to be with the man that she loved. When the man rejects her, she kills herself. Challenged at the gates of heaven as to the whereabouts of her children, she is not permitted to enter the afterlife until she has found them. Maria is forced to wander the Earth for all eternity, searching in vain for her drowned offspring, with her constant weeping giving her the name “La Llorona”.
There are versions of the tale in which she’s seen wandering along rivers and has a horse head, hence Brian’s depiction of her with the horse’s head.

Holy moley—best thing I’ve seen by Brian yet (and that’s saying a lot!)
Unfit? She looks pretty “fit” to me! (Though I certainly wouldn’t want her kissing me on the cheek before going to school…)
Gorgeous work!

Mike you’re a doll. I appreciate it tremendously. It’s just an awesome treat to be able to put art next to artists that kick so much tail.
