Steve, it's a good start and some of the suggestions are great. Sometimes, doing a little research for inspiration can do wonders. John Singer Sargent, one of my favorite painters, did a series of murals for the Boston Public Library. I had no idea till I went looking for some images for you, so thanks. This is one of his pieces, Triumph of Religion, which shows a vision of Hell. It's all of matter of what you think Hell is. There are very classic images and descriptions. Of course, there's Dante's Inferno. Good luck with your image. Cris
