Description
I got some unexpected alone time today and i painted pretty much straight the past six hours....

Since i bought and first read Red As Blood by Tanith Lee (10 years ago) I've been inspired to draw/paint pictures to go with the stories. however I've never felt terribly confident with my skill up until now to really try.

Red as Blood was my favorite book until i discovered Wuthering Heights and now it still runs a very close second... i've lost count how many times i've read it.
For those who are unfamiliar, it's a collection of short stories, with twisted and often times morbid versions of well known fairy tales.

This picture was inspired by the title story: Red as Blood... basically... a vampiric Snow White within the story she is described as being a plague thus the title
the stumpy tree has significance but the owl does not... I just thought he sort of belonged there.

also inspired by this stock image: [link] a work of art in its self.
