"I Vampiri" Mug

The first three in my series of paintings called "I Vampiri " (which is Italian for The Vampires) - a new line of paintings that feature vampire beauties inspired by Italian Baroque & Italian Renaissance themes and aesthetics (many of which I have been hired to create for my upcoming Vampire Tarot/Oracle Deck). The first a vampiress in her Renaissance finery - standing in front of an ornate bed and clutching a goblet. This second painting is called "I Vampiri: Il Liuto" (which means "The Lute") and she is lovely! Subtle colours and clothing style have a sort of renaissance painting feel to it, and I just love the lute! This third painting is called "I Vampiri: Pietà" (which means "Pity" in Italian) and I had a lot of fun with this one! Obviously, the Pietà is more than just "pity" when it comes to the art world - Michelangelo popularised the "Pietà" as a pose, which has been repeated throughout the centuries (from his original statue at the Vatican to the covers of horror movies and comic books).My own original acrylic painting.
