Pretty Gourds

Well, I've bought my pumpkin, it just needs a face painted on it and my candy has also been purchased. It will be Halloween before you know it!  Are you ready?

Happy Halloween

Wishing all the trick or treaters a safe and happy Halloween! I don't carve my pumpkin anymore, I just draw a simple face with a black sharpie marker!

Paint Party Friday - Halloween

For Paint Party Friday, I did a piece for Halloween what else?  It's on an index card in watercolour pencil.  Have a fun, treat-filled weekend!

Halloween 2012

Have a  Happy and safe Halloween!

M and K got into the Halloween candy, the box was opened soon after I bought it.  I've had a few fun-sized Mars bars myself but there is lots left over for the trick or treaters.  I finally tried a Twix bar and I LOVED it!  Every year we seem to have fewer kids.  There are nice decorations all over.

Here are a couple of art pieces I did last year in honour of the season. They are small ACEO art cards in acrylic (2.5" x 3.5").

Sunday Sketches - Halloween

Welcome to Sophia's Sunday Sketches! Please stop by the others afterward and join in the fun!

In honour of the season, here is my sketch today, it's an ACEO in acrylic:

Happy Halloween

We mailed this Marilyn Monroe costume to L this past week. She says the blonde wig doesn't work for her, unfortunately. But she is planning to use the dress in some way.

K and a couple of his friends decided they still want to go trick or
treating at 15 years old. Unfortunately, there are 2 tests and a report due tomorrow at school. The pumpkin's carved, the decorations are up and the candy is all set out. I wonder how many kids will come to the door this year. We don't usually get a lot.

Have a safe and fun Halloween!
