it's time to celebrate halloween

Time to celebrate halloween
4 x 4 in.

The ongoing joke for me and my creations is that even if try to paint something "scary" or "dark", it still comes out cute. So naturally at this time of year I love to make attempts at creating halloween creatures. Here is the first of a few creatures I have planned for this week accompanied by "pearl the spider". There will also be a couple of cute clay creations joining the celebration over here...in a day or so.

Marisa, I love your cuteness--it shows to me that you find a lot of joy and beauty in your life. You are able to appreciate the simple joy of making these characters dance across the page. Often, I am exhausted about the topic of what is REAL ART and what is not. I think, as you have so often conveyed, that as long as you're working from your heart, you can't go wrong AND you are giving the most you can give to the world. What could be better?

I'm reading your posts on bloggin and commenting with interest as it's something I'm pondering a lot right now too. I think nicey nice is good though, but I understand your point.

I think the blue bat is not only cute, but hilarous! :-)

I miss your podcasts though!

Happy Halloween fellow blogger!
