Spooky-girls, Sea-monsters

Bloodroot by Adela Leibowitz

Some of these paintings are fun, some are so-so. I like the 06-07 series, specifically The Purple Room, which reminds me very much of the set design and costumes in Ingmar Bergman's Cries and Whispers.

Are we entering the Mines of Moira?

I put up a nice, thoughtful post about contemporary art and you have to go and nerd it up.

As long as we're going down that path: Blind Guardian By the Gates of Moria

i really like this painting

her work vaguely reminds of this movie saw recently In The Realms Of The Unreal. it's about a deeply reclusive artist/janitor who worked his entire life on an immense work of fantastical fiction. the doc is narrated by Dakota Fanning...

Blind Guardian for comic effect never gets old.
