Flower of Virtue

1/2 of a pair of pictures that conceptually, at least, go together, along with "Flower of Deception".

The word 'Virtue' doesn't come to mind, usually, when one thinks of vampires, or the color red, or blood...but bear with me. In contrast to 'Flower of Deception', the vampiress in this picture (note the blood by her mouth; I know it's not immediately obvious) doesn't hide herself, she knows what she is and she isn't afraid to show it. Vampires, yes, lie and hide just as much as any faerie, good or evil; yet, personally, I've found many more vampires than faeries in movies, literature, etc., that I can identify with. But that's just me.

Again, though, the title is also supposed to be ironic...so take it as you will.

Anyway; again, hope you like it, please let me know what you think!
