I started making small simple paintings to go along with my jewelry boxes. I'm not sure why I love silhouettes but I do. And of course I started with my favorite ... Audrey.
And of course I need to switch over to the weird when I've a little too much normal.
The last painting I made was of the Bride of Frankenstein (Elsa Lanchester). I wanted to make her more realistic, beautiful but still slightly gruesome.
I kept the background and edges really rough and sketchy mostly because I wanted to loosen up after the tightness of the other paintings. I want to do another painting in a similar style of Dracula's Daughter and other classic horror women but I must admit I'm having a hard time finding villain women in horror movies from the 30's - 60's. There are plenty of victims but very few villains, which is a shame because villains are much more interesting.
