Absence

Absence  You were the last thing we wanted You came to us on a warm summer evening Tiny and sick dark as the night We took you in and you grew on us You thought you were a chihuahua You ingratiated yourself into our hearts Soft and silky svelte and lanky A queen in yourContinue reading “Absence”

Night carnival

I thought this was going to be a difficult subject to illustrate until I remembered that I sketched a few amusements over the years, most during the day. I referenced those sketches and sleeted the Tornado ride for this illustration. I had a lot of fun doing this….

Witch

The fourth prompt is “witch” and it happens to be one of my favorites. Usually for Inktober, I work on my “Little Witch” series, which started back in 2018 as a desperate need to find ideas for postcards to mail to my mom. (Mom was placed in Assisted Living back in 2018 for memory care.Continue reading “Witch”

Haunted

I am still trailing the other October lists for now. As I write this, I have one of the Hallmark channels on TV to help with the holiday transition, even though I don’t want to transition yet. I’d love to wallow some more in post-Halloween, pre-Thanksgiving vibes and enjoy November for November. It’s hard toContinue reading “Haunted”

In the meantime, monsters, witches and other beasties were sidelined. I have beenContinue reading “Little Witch (on the side)”

All Souls Day / Day of the Dead

This illustration was done for the “scary great” challenge on the “They Draw “ website. It is based on the Scottish Prayer: “From Ghoulies and Ghosties, and long leggity beasties, and things that go bump in the night, Good Lord Deliver us.” I did a painting over 12 years ago illustrating that same prayer andContinue reading “All Souls Day / Day of the Dead”

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween everyone! Thank you for following along with me for this month’s THEYDRAWTOBER Challenge. I am grateful to you, my followers! Here’s a piece of virtual Halloween cake!

Witches Brew

I have to say, this one was so MUCH fun. I played with many different Procreate features and brushes and I had a blast. This totally went an entirely different direction than I was thinking but once I drew the cauldron, it was just me being intuitive and right brained the rest of the way.
