I absolutely adore diving into a good book, and these two paintings were inspired by some classic horror novels. 📚 One is a tribute to Bram Stoker's 'Dracula,' featuring the haunting character Lucy, and the other draws inspiration from 'The Woman in Black.' What's your favorite literary inspiration for art?

"The Woman in White has no clear originator. She’s everywhere and nowhere at once. Whether it’s La Llorona or Yūrei, the story has the same basic skeleton. Like the ghostly women in black, the White Woman is grieving, but she’s not always sinister. She’s usually too sad, too heartbroken. She was abandoned by her lover or her father or her children. In some stories, she killed her babies, and in others, her little ones were taken from her. When Jane Eyre first meets her predecessor in Rochester’s affections, she almost mistakes her for an apparition, or maybe a “German vampire”—something already dead, dressed for burial. The sinister Bertha wears a “white and straight” garment, either a “gown, sheet, or shroud.” Whether she’s breathing or wailing, the White Woman is tragic and, even when she’s given a wee bit of agency, there’s a sense that she is somewhat powerless. She didn’t choose her sadness or her madness. It chose her."
Katy Kelleher, The Perfect Terror of the White Nightgown, Jezebel Sept 10, 2019.
