Yeah, this is definitely in a modern context though I think it will feel a little more fantastical just by the sheer nature of some of the things I'm talking about. It's about three generations of women under the same roof and the young girl and her aunt enter into a painting that her aunt has created - so we sort of go with them into the aunt's headspace, which is a dark and seductive world that edges towards insanity. Meanwhile, the girl's mother (and the aunt's mother) are trying to fight to bring their daughters back to the real world for better or worse. Thanks for the encouragement. I need every bit I can get!

I was reminded right away of "Till We Have Faces" by CS Lewis, which takes the myth of Cupid and Psyche and puts it in vague Germanic, feudal setting. Your project sounds very interesting. Good luck!
