Elmer Paisley:

Stained glass window depicting Death. At one point, this was a large part of the composition of my portrait of Elmer, but I ended up deciding against it and painting over it. I’m glad I changed my mind about it, but I really should have kept this and finished it on its own.

Eliza spent most of the day in tearful contemplation of a dying flower. :’(

Acrylic and colored pencil (detail)

Dedicated with love to Katie Begany (Sorry about that shadow cutting diagonally across the middle…oops!)

Eleanora used to be young and beautiful, but that was so many years ago…

For my dear Anna Tararova. Acrylic and colored pencil (detail)

Eliza tries to alleviate her loneliness by having little tea parties with her “friends”. She’s very sad because her bird died last week (Elmer killed it). Perhaps her secret diary can shed some light on why things are so unhappy around the castle? Dedicated to Katelyn Begany. Acrylic and colored pencil (detail)

Elmer can’t go a day without drinking or else the trembling horrors catch up with him and all the memories start flooding back in. Acrylic and colored pencil.
