Description

Sorry for long time without post but I was busy, then I got a little vacation. In a few day I'll come back. For now this post. Death is a strange and heavy theme. In licterature, stories and popular conception has a bad reputation and image. This is my personal interpretation, as a fascinating Lady. It's better, I hope, than the traditional dark figurations as skeleton or black figure and so on ;-) See you and tx for comments

This is such a beautiful and yet unsettling image, very arresting. And thank you so much for your kind words about my work(it was my first post here). I see we both also admired the same new post of Shiva. :)
