I have returned from my third Artwalk in Leesville. It keeps getting bigger and better. This year they had boards set up for all the artists to hang their work on. It made things SO much easier to set up. And there were way more artists than last time. I don't remember the exact number, but it had to be at least twice as many.

A couple of weeks back, my sister in law asked me to help design an invitation for her son's first birthday party. Since its gonna be on Halloween, she wanted something that combined classic halloween and birthday imagery. So I made a bunch of little ghosts doing things like blowing out candles, wearing party hats, etc. They turned out pretty cute. So as I got closer to the Artwalk, I thought I should do some little paintings in a similar vein. I ended up with a series of 6 ghosts wearing a variety of masks: a vampire, frankenstein, pirate, scarecrow, pumpkin, and witch. Unfortunately, none of them sold. So I'm gonna try putting them on my Etsy page.

But I did sell two paintings! Hummingbird and a new painting of the alligator in the backyard. I'll try to post pics of that one and the ghosts tomorrow. Right now, though, I'm beat.
