Elvish Witch

Hello Halloween 2010!

My first pumpkins of 2010 are done, and I love how this adorable elvish witch came out. Does she look a little like actress Anne Hathaway to you? I swear to you I'm not obsessed with celebrities. I have no idea why some of my characters turn out looking like famous people.

I am digging her serene smile and her pointy ears. I wish I had pointy ears. Too cute!

This is a REALLY big, heavy pumpkin. I hope it finds a good home with some one who will like her and her black kitten as much as I do.

Yes, another witch

Trick-or-Treat! Just put the candy in the cauldron! This little cutie witch in purple with flowers on her hat was a big hit and was bought the morning after I painted her.

I like her black cat with the green wings a lot. Thank goodness cats don't really have wings! They get into enough mischief as it is. Can you imagine what destruction would ensue if they could fly?

Love in the Graveyard

Here is another example of a silhouette design. Two black cats are sitting in the grave yard, their tails curled up and over and entwined to form a heart. How sweet is that? Above them in the night sky are some heart shaped bats and spooky tree branches, and a grinning Jack o' Lantern gives them a knowing smile from the side of the scene. It just goes to show that it's not where you are, it's who you're with that makes all the difference in the world. Ah, love!

This pumpkin actually photographed beautifully. The colors in the camera flash look gorgeous! Again, some of the details around the edges are lost, like a headstone and the cemetery fencing, but what are you gong to do? It happens when you try to take a 2 D image of a 3 D object.
