I love the way light
and shadow can be captured
in pictures like this

Marie, a gentleman has posted an art thread over on the GB that deals with the naughty side of classic art. You may be interested. I posted this over there today.

I do love them and also witches in art

The perfect combination!

I won't go into the 'why' but, at one point in my life, I needed two representations of the Horned God and the Moon Goddess so I painted them myself.

Nice! But I'm endlessly curious about the why Were they painted during a skyclad ritual?? Did you find you needed to bring an astral vision to physical form? Inquiring minds...lol.

I used be a 'high ranking' something.
Do you recognise the significance of this pendant?

I believe so. So are you the HBIC or HWIC as it were?

'Were', not 'are' - but yes, you have the right idea.

Alas, we seem in danger of hijacking this wonderful thread about art. If you would like to know more, please feel free to PM me.
