Happy Halloween

I think you have to consider pumpkin carving art. Here's one that PJ sculpted a couple of years ago but it's still one of my favorites.

Tree in the Median

Thanks for the beautiful painting, Peej! And the cuttings from the real Gumbo-Limbo to plant in the Keys.

Open

The Illustration Friday challenge this week is the word "OPEN." It made me think of the French Open. Here's my submission.

Open: In or Out

ART QUOTE

An empty canvas is a living wonder... far lovelier than certain pictures.
Wassily Kandinsky




No wonder I still get a thrill at the sight of an empty sheet of paper...sometimes even a blank e-document!

The Blues

The Blues. I guess technically this would be the Lavender-Blues or the Violet-Blues. I had it on an easel; I took it off the easel. It's finished. Here it is. Sob.

WEDDING

Weddings are very inspiring so I came up with two pictures. In the first, the whole city is 'blushing' with the bride; the second is a much more contemporary glimpse of a wedding guest.

And, hey, where are the men? Ha ha--I guess it's all about the dresses today.

Momentum

Alphabet -- the letter V

V is for Violets

I would love to do the whole series, all 26 letters, each one a different flower.

Emergency

Illustration Friday asks that we illustrate our 'take' on the word 'emergency.'



We are told to know where the 'exit' is in case of emergency, but I would hate to be faced with this puzzling way out.

Moon

Found myself drawing another moon picture in the 'paint' program. I like this because it has no color--as is usually the case with moonlight.
