Halloween Haunted House Art Print

Halloween Haunted House Art Print

         Trees are stark and a bright fall moon hangs in the sky. Leafless branches reach toward the windows. An overgrown iron gate stands sentinel to the grounds, waiting for the brave soul to venture near. Is that a face peering from a window or a trick of the light? This is printed on masa professional paper. The print image measures 12 inches by 14 inches. The print image is surrounded by a boundary of at least 2 inches providing ample white space for matting. The overall print plus boundary is 16 & a half by 18 inches. It is signed & numbered below the image in pencil. Each print is hand pressed & all hand pulled prints are unique.

Halloween Haunted Pumpkin

Halloween Haunted Pumpkin

       It is funny that one of the scariest elements of Halloween, the pumpkin, comes from your own garden. You spend the entire summer watching it grow from a seedling, observing and admiring its growth and beauty. Then on Halloween, this same beautiful pumpkin is sneering and smirking at you, almost taunting you while sensing your fear and trepidation. 

      BOO!!! It’s the time of year for ghosties and ghoulies and things that go bump in the night! And to celebrate, I’m adding a line of cards to help you share the spirit of the season. Enjoy!

Halloween Black Cat Card

        It is Halloween and on this special day what could be scarier than the black cat? On every other day of the year we feel like we are only appreciated for our can opening skills to feed them. On Halloween these cats develop extra attitude giving you the impression that they might take over once and for all. Hopefully you have treated them well during all the other days of the year so that you will survive their rush of Halloween feline adrenaline to realize your usefulness to them.

Halloween Frankenstein Card

Frankenstein Halloween Party Invitation Card

         It is that most wonderful time of the year where people can escape their regular identities and dress up and become anybody that they desire. Your imagination is the only limitation in determining your desires for that special Halloween celebration where fantasy crashes into reality. To help move things along, here is Frankenstein delivering a special invitation to his own Halloween party, a “Frankinvite” to his own Monster Mash. Accept his invitation if you dare!

Halloween Haunted Birdhouse

Halloween Haunted Birdhouse Greeting Card

          If you need proof that Halloween haunts more than just people, look no further than this haunted birdhouse. The occupants are terrified and have no idea why their home is haunted. I’m sure the fact that their home swings in the wind directly above an ancient Indian Burial Ground has absolutely nothing to do with their haunted horror. Nah.

Halloween Ghosts Greeting Card

Halloween Ghosts Greeting Card

     There is always one in every crowd, the one that has to stand out and draw attention to him or herself. Obviously, the spirit world is not immune to this either. Our ghost buddy would rather draw attention to itself instead of being one of sixteen similar looking ghosts. Now that I think about it, it does not sound bad after all.

Cicada

Cicada

      Another friend of summer is the cicada. Their presence is mainly heard and not seen. I always thought that the sound from the cicada was similar to the sound emitted from the alien spaceships in the movie “The Day The Earth Stood Still”. The cicada soundtrack is unforgettable and synonymous with summer.

Butterflies

Butterflies

They are especially attracted to my zinnias, which are almost as bright and colorful as the butterflies themselves.

Dreams of Summer Travel and Adventure

Dreams of Summer Travel and Adventure

         Summer is the most popular time to travel and it is difficult to resist the allure of dreaming of your vacations, real or imagined, past or future vacations. Sometimes your dreams can have a direct influence on your decision making process. Perhaps your dreams will steer you away from poor decision planning and towards a pleasurable vacation and adventure experience.

Gorilla Painting

Somebody told me it’s all happening at the zoo . . .

            Now that fall is approaching, one pleasant way to spend a day is to go to the zoo. At the Louisville Zoo in Kentucky there is an award winning 4 acre Gorilla Forest that is educational and a lot of fun to visit. Their exhibit ties together the themes of animals, habitats, and the human culture of Africa. For more information on the Louisville Zoo and their Gorilla Forest, visit;

Caveman John Painting

Caveman John Painting

            There must have been politicians among the cavemen back in prehistoric times. You know, the type of caveman that decided he was born to lead and always knew what was best for everyone else. The kind of caveman that all the other cavemen worked hard to avoid because nobody likes a know it all. This is a painting I created for an animation called “Caveman John”.

Wireless Internet Painting

Wireless Painting

       One of the more liberating services you can acquire is switching to a high speed wireless internet service. The time you will save will amaze you. There are a vast array of speeds and services to meet your budget and if that is not affordable your local library offers a free high speed wireless service. All you have to do is bring in your laptop and tablet and ask the librarian how to connect to their free wireless service. If you do not have a laptop or tablet, the library has computers you can use to surf the internet on, all you need is a free library card. Most libraries offer free introductory classes to using a computer if you need help. Ask the librarian and they will be glad to help you get started. Cut the cord!

Flea Market Relief Art Print

Flea Market Relief Art Print

       It is another holiday weekend and the Flea Markets appear both small and large. Whether it is your neighbor down the street selling her outgrown baby clothes or the national organization that fills your local convention center with hundreds of vendors or somewhere in between, the experience is the same for the buyer.

       It may appear that the buyer attends because he or she is looking for a particular item, but  it can be much more than that. The uncertainty of what you will find when you approach a flea market booth, the interaction with the seller and the surprise of finding something that strikes your fancy are all elements of the flea market experience. With the flea market, it is the journey and not just the destination.

Flying A Kite Painting

         One favorite summertime activity is flying a kite. It is recommended that the wind speed be between 5 and 25 miles per hour.
