"Moonlight Sonata" ***SOLD***

"Moonlight Sonata" with Jack & Sally!

11 x 14 Acrylic and Watercolor

Shades of Black, Blue and White

I wanted to try some new techniques with my backgrounds and some new colors to get a blended water color look. Thats when this hit me, its a story that came together as I was painting. My moon and the white ghost pumpkins have a stardust glittery effect to them.

I listed this one tonight on ebay click HERE to view my auction

The Swamp Witch


The wise old woman of the swamp; she has experience of the ancient, the oldest of old, beyond memory, in the roots of the beginning of time. This is the Gran Ibo, most commonly known as the Swamp Witch, so called because the swamp is the place she calls home. A place of only the darkest shades of midnight. A place where only shadows and unseen things lurked behind dark crevices.


Beneath an autumn moon she worked. She was old, old enough that she couldn't remember how long she'd been there or how old she was. Air, earth, fire and water were the same to her, but she preferred the cover and coolness of the swamp water. Her hair was coarse and covered in snow white moss. She was hungry and it was time for her midnight snack. Neither frogs, nor toads or nightly creatures would suffice this evening. Her fingers gnarled and as she twisted them, she cast out a spell over the ghost pumpkins. Pumpkin soup for the soul!

The Halloween Tree

My newest painting entitled: "The Halloween Tree" witches, ghosties, pumpkins and maybe a little bunny? I am so ready for halloween! Available now in my etsy shop.

Sleepy Hollow

I couldn't help it, I just got done reading the legend of sleepy hollow, its my absolute favorite read this time of year. So I had to start a small series of paintings with the Hession rider as the theme. Just listed it on ebay tonight.
I know, your all expecting more wine?
Well here ya go...
More wine selections for tonight a little sleepy Hollow red, unfortunately I don't know if this is still available for this year. I will be listing a lot more halloween drinks in the coming days, you can't imagine how many cool things they have for parties. I wish I drank lol.

Have a great night!

Twilight Falling...

It is the season of the witch, well ok its not but its coming soon and I am getting ready for it. I can't think of anything else but Halloween and witches. Thats ok with me though I love to paint them so its fitting that I just keep doing it.

So here is a new one in a long series I am doing this month, titled "twilight falling"

Which reminds me I have to get dinner ready for the kids before they start revolting. Have a great evening everyone!

hugs,
Heather

The Wise Ones...

I hate Sundays, I have since I was a kid. I think because its the end of the weekend. Its time for everyone to go home, and Monday is lurking around the corner lol. Another long week ahead.

I wish I was wise, at my age I still don't have all the answers to lifes great questions. I do know this though, art is part of your soul and no matter how awful you feel or how much you would like to give up...creating is always there and can pull you out of whatever slump you are in.

A sneak peak at my newest painting...
"The Wise Ones"
This one is on gallery wrapped canvas and is 8x10.



To anyone having a not so wise day today...hang in there this too shall pass...
hugs,
Heather

The "Boo Crew"

The boo crew started as a little sketch I did of a group of characters to read to my children at bedtime. My children's love for the characters grew along with the sketches until Grimly the skelly boy and his gang of friends came to life and continued to grow and grow. It has now spawned a series of stories full of inspiration as Grimly and his friend go on these amazing journeys. The Adventures of Grimly.



Meet Grimly and the gang: His best and trusty friend the black cat "Spook", "Stitch" is the jester always clowning around & keeping Grimly on his toes, and "Stump", the pumpkin boy who doesn't have to hide how he looks at Halloween.

Reluctantly but with the urging of a few of my artist friends I decided to share some paintings with the general public. I feel a bit weird about it really. I guess maybe because these guys are such a part of my life with my children, they think its great so where can one go wrong. I brought them back, featured two paintings that are now available on ebay. I am not sharing the stories of all Grimly's adventures, some things are just for my little ones. I hope that everyone likes the ones that I did share.

Have a great weekend!
hugs,
Heather

Drawing Down the Moon

We have gotten more snow here, about 3" and counting. The kids are starting to feel a bit better so I think they are on the mend. I just wish the weather would make up its mind lol! I am fighting it off every step of the way, I don't want to be the last in line to get sick.

My sweet friend Vila Spiderhawk has her new (and 3rd) book coming out in mid march and I am so excited for her!

The full moon has given me inspiration to finish my latest painting.
My new one is up and for sale at ebay, "Drawing Down the Moon" I had fun doing this one, wasn't sure what direction it would go in at first, now I have 3 dancing witches under the full moon. The moon as well as the swirl of stardust coming out of her wand both are glittered with stardust. I am really happy with this piece.
