Sleepy Hollow Cemetery the Saturday before Halloween

October 26th.

If you are in the area it promises to be a great Halloween show.

 

 

On my drawing table: Author Portraits

I have wanted to do a series of author portraits.
Since I have a 'thing' for crows, blackbirds and ravens, the first portrait just had to be Poe!

The idea is to make them look sort of vintage, but with a playful, whimsical touch.

Shakespere was next, but he needs more work and I have a better idea now of what to do,
instead of the comedy/tradgedy masks.

And considering the time of year and following a customer suggestion, Washington Irving is being worked on right now.....

The finished product, printed on a vintage dictionary page. I will be listing on etsy sometime this week.

I Love Halloween!

Rat in the Kitchen!!



I love the autumn holidays, Halloween with it's fun dress-up and Thanksgiving with it's food!

Where we live, we don't get many Trick or Treaters if at all, so the past few years I have been having a Halloween Party and sleepover with my nieces. It gives me a good excuse to get out all my decorations.

We play games and dunk for apples and then stay up late and watch scary movies and eat popcorn.

I love to scatter little decorations throughout the house and I placed a faux rat on top of my microwave. When I was cooking today I needed to get into the cabinet above and so I moved the rat to the open shelves next to it. As I was busy cooking I forgot that I moved it

and scared myself when I went to reach for the EVOO!
