Dear Readers:

I promised to a friend I made in Los Angeles that I would mention her new business. Dark Visions is an art gallery catering to those with a taste for the macabre and gothic, now open for business at DVGalleries.net and at the corner of Ocean Avenue and Santa Monica Blvd. in Santa Monica.

I'm not an art expert but I know what I like and I like quite a bit of what they have. Be sure to see the owner's master's work in the back room: A triptych depicting Caine being cursed by god, Caine spurning Lilith and Caine meeting the Crone. Sadly it's a commission piece (for whom she wouldn't say) but it was truly impressive in acrylic on aluminum panels each easily 10 feet tall.

The smaller series, depicted the seven powers taught Caine by Lilith, is similarly stunning; and for sale to the right discerning buyer.
