Halloween Challenge

I'm sorry to not have posted anything for so long. It was an incredibly busy ( and fun ) summer.  The leaves have changed to their "showing off colors" but as I type this, they are being sprinkled with a heavy wet snow. The area has been surprised by an unseasonal nor'easter and I am NOT ready to enjoy winter weather, yet. Thankfully,to ease me into the change of seasons, my dear friends Chris Beck and Pablo Villicana Lara invited me to take part in a Halloween painting challenge. Even though I have two black cats and a broom, Halloween is to me "All About The Candy". I hope you enjoy this painting as well as the others from the artists listed below. You can see all the paintings together on Chris or Pablos blog sites. Thanks for stopping in to check on my blog.

  4. Yes, it IS all about the candy - and this is perfect. Fun to see your 'challenge' and all the rest of your work. Love the snow hydrangeas in particular. Hope you are getting out from under the way-too-early winter storm -

  7. A bold and colorful picture. I love how the Pay Days letterings pop against the orange background. Nice use of complementary colors. Very fun and wonderful.
