Spirit Portrait I

Published:

Description

I just had a pic of my "aura" taken and was really into the concept of how something appears to be there that you don't see at first. There are all these energies around us, from things and people in the past, from ourselves and from spirits and ghosts. I don't know how much belief I put into those aura pics as being real, but it still looks cool. I also looked up antique spirit photos for inspiration, because even fake ones look great. This was one of my fastest paintings, just an old-fashioned chick surrounded by an otherwordly presence.
Is it her portrait or the spirit's? Ever see people posing in a modern photo, totally engulfed in ectoplasm? Those crazy things can ruin your scrapbook...
