Ain't No Bones About It

Summer is in full swing, although you wouldn't know it by our daytime temperatures. With a high of 75 to 80 degrees just outside San Francisco, I'm enjoying the cool summer breezes while I dream of fall. My Halloween watercolors are in full swing, while I list a few on eBay. The one pictured is more illustrative and whimsical than my usual, but I was in a JOL-ly mood when I painted it! ;0) It's listed on eBay now, and you can click here to head on over.

I've also started on some large paper mache pumpkins, witches and ghosts. Getting back to the medium is so enjoyable, especially when I can work outdoors. I hope you are enjoying the weather where you are and the creative spirit is with you!

A Glowing Halloween

I'm working on adding texture to my watercolors, or at least the image of texture. "A Glowing Halloween," was born from this experimentation. The 5"x7" watercolor will be listed on eBay tonight. The image was one of many photographs I took last Halloween and I can't wait to paint my way through them! I'm always in the mood for a glowing jack-o-lantern! How about you?

A Sweeter Halloween

Sometimes I like the less gothic sort of Halloween, and it comes out every once in a while in my watercolors. I just listed this sweet 5x7 original watercolor painting on etsy. It's on heavy 140lb watercolor paper, unframed and unmatted, but at an oh-so-great price, and you will find it here. I'm working on more watercolors and can't wait to finish them. Sometimes I am surprised by what appears in my paintings. Maybe it's those little Halloween fairies sprinkling their October dust on everything!

And, back by popular demand, I've listed another Glittered Curious Eye Ornament on eBay. It really does follow you around the room and is perfect for those who love art that looks like it came straight from a Victorian cabinet of curiousities! You'll find the listing here.

It's never too early for Halloween, right? Happy Haunting!...Iva
