The acrylic painting shown in this photo is  a self portrait, painted by Carla, over an old canvas I had lying about. Love it.

The topic and title are a tad macabre. But like a feature movie, it is all acting. A narrative. Fiction in photography. Inset below: Olivia the model in the same forest, but looking calm and jovial. An outtake. More of the Dark Forest theme to come in this Art Blog at later times.

Of late, I have been inspired by some other art & historical documentaries about the topic of Wicca, and witches. The latter, not about anything evil, but about the power and wisdom of women, and in particular, older women. I feel that I get this attitude & penchant for that subject from my late Mother, who brought me up alone, along with my grandmother, and were both very confident and clever women. 

But then again, on the topic of the macabre, I did a PhD in The Gothic (Gothic literature) some decades ago, so I am not surprised. Watch this space for more.  

Olivia in a more non-Gothic mood. An out-take.
