All the buildings at my primary (elementary/grade/whatever-you-call-it) school were old Victorian houses that had been turned into classrooms while still preserving much of the original decor. The school library was in a particularly dim and dusty house that looked a bit like the Gryffindor common room. Occasionally, while tucked away in some dark corner reading scary stories, you'd feel a gentle breeze even though no one had walked past, or hear the floorboards creak in the empty attic above. Theories about hauntings were ripe, with each story more far-fetched than the last.
Oh this is lovely!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I love this so much!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful; it belongs in a Gothic novel (actually, a novel should be written for this illustration, it's so compelling).
ReplyDeleteThis is stunning...
ReplyDeleteI feel like this image explains so much about you Rovina! Of course you went to school in an old victorian house full of ghosts! What an exquisite drawing.
