On My Drawing Table: Author Portraits, Washington Irving

The third in my (very slow to put together) series of author portraits.

 

I completed the pencil sketch last year,

 



After researching images of Washington Irving ...

I also wanted to combine an image of one of his most popular stories, like I have done with Poe.

 



 

 I think that my image has shaved about 20 years off of the one I used for

research. But that is not necessarily a bad thing :)

 

Prints of him will appear on my etsy site tomorrow. And I will be bringing

them along to the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery Craft Fair,

 

October 26th.

Halloween Jointed Art Dolls

 

This is Jackie o'Lantern of the o'Lantern family of Sleepy Hollow.

She has emerged from the family pumpkin patch for her favorite holiday.

 

She and her little bird friend are ready to come and trick or treat with you!
