~ Oil on wood panel 



I should have thought of this earlier but its never too late. A neat way to see where the stars would look good before painting them in. I still need to paint a shooting star and some tiny stars around the little white ghostly pumpkins. 

"By pumpkins fat and witches lean
 By coal black cats
 With eyes of green
 By all the magic ever seen
 The ghosts will rise on
 Halloween" ~ author unknown

I shared this oil painting yesterday but, I got better pictures this morning so, sharing once more. Also, wondering what to do with the pumpkin patch, any suggestions? 

Last night's moon was a waxing crescent, and I tried to capture an image with my phone, only I got this. Sometimes, pictures lie. lol 

I did, however, paint it in my spooky Halloween painting. 

Now, I am thinking, what I need to do with the haunted pumpkin patch being very careful not disturb the little spooks.
Of course, you might have guessed if you read about our pumpkin patch how I got the idea for this painting. And did you notice the pet rock? Nature sure presents inspiration: one only needs to put on their glasses and take a closer look. Well, at least I know I do, reading glasses and an early morning coffee helps me to see more clearly.

Patti Page ~ Hush...Hush, Sweet Charlotte

I just discovered a great video on youtube for Hush...Hush, Sweet Charlotte. So many good actors in this movie, Bette Davis, Olivia de Havillande, Joseph Cotton, Agnes Moorehead,Bruce Dern,Victor Buono, Cecil Callaway, the list goes on.


Magnificent Old Hollywood, those were the days of Golden Classics ❣️

 I have an affection for animate spiders, especially this black one I made, Charlotte. I named her Charlotte after the spider in Charlotte's Web. 

I think she fits in perfectly in this homage to a great horror movie I adore, Hush...Hush, Sweet Charlotte starring Bette Davis and Olivia De Havillande.

Every time I take a glance at the golden hand with Charlotte the spider she takes me back to 1964. 

Oh, how I love the past!

If you have seen this great movie then you'll get the significance of the hand 😉

Oh, and look what I found at Sally Ann in Kemptville....

'Bette Davis, Larger Then Life', she certainly was and one of my Very Favourite actors.

*** Dreamy Thoughts ***

Sorry for my absence but summer called to me and I have been in the garden creating and dreaming.

This is but one of a number of inspirations I have gathered from the garden and my dreams. I hope to continue to develop what I imagine and build it into a reality and share with you the fruit of my mind's imagination. So from now and then, probably more then, I will be posting some interesting conceptions that you may like.

At the moment, I ‘m afraid that I have been caught in Summer’s Dream ...

"The Spirits of the Air
live on the smells Of fruit;
and Joy,
with
pinions
light, roves
round the gardens,
or sits
singing in the trees."

~ William Blake
