Art Alfresco's 2011 theme of Bacchus inspired me in my piece Bacchante and the Goat, (right) to consider a female bacchante who assumes the role of Baccus himself. Playfully in the painting she offers the goat some wine while holding precious grapes in her other hand. Originally Bacchus was worshiped in the form of a goat or bull. Here he is somewhat at her mercy, waiting, hoping for the wine to flow.

Catching his soul, was inspired by Stravinsky's 'The Soldiers Tale', In this interpretation, the Devil is using his butterfly net to capture the soldier's soul (represented by the violin).
This painting is part of a suite of works entitled: The Soldiers Tale.
