I am a couple of days early I know. But I am hoping that November will renew whatever bit of talent I thought I had. This month has been crummy all around.
Unexpected car repairs – CHA CHING! Not just for me, but for everyone in the house. We have been playing musical cars for weeks. Yup, I think a double-deep-dip in the ol’ treat bag is needed. Now I just need to find a kid with overflowing treats.
October has never been my favorite month. Playing dodge the scary movies on TV. Or the Linda Blair shuffle. I am ready for Hallmark channels countdown to Christmas. A month filled with sappy, happy endings!
A few more attempts here. Working on some postcard art for Visual Aids. Another “map”, but I prefer the earlier layout – square. This seems a bit “scrunched”. The start of each of these was twig scribbled black acrylic. Marks without a rhyme or reason.

The marks on this reminded me of the postcard I submitted last year. That one sold at the show.

I started with glorious, imperfect lines on the card below. And then I mucked it up by working it to death. Should have just left it alone.

May your Halloween be sweetly spooky! Save me a Kit Kat and a Baby Ruth! Gee wiz – did you know Kit Kats came in all these flavors? What are your favorite treats at Halloween?
That stuff seems to come in bunches doesn’t it? Wishing you a better November and December!
That is true, thanks for the well wishes… and best of luck to you in your show!
Must admit Baby Ruth is one of my favorites. I’ve already eaten all I got for the Trick o Treaters. They will only get the stuff I don’t like! I’m sure your creativity will bounce back in November. I’ve hardly painted anything since Sept. Too many other things get in the way.
Oh Pam, You made me laugh! Thank you for that :)) I loved your Halloween theme pieces 🙂
Everyone having a crummy or bizarre October. Normal. Really do think the first artistic composition shows great talent
Thanks Elizabeth. Hope yours was not too bad. On to the rest of the year, it is flying by!
