This little lab knows a good thing when she
sees it...free bones from the neighbors just for
wearing a cute little hat?...ah, isn't life grand!

Halloween ACEO's - Art Cards Editions and Originals

Introducing My Newest
Series of Original ACEO's

In Celebration of the
HALLOWEEN SEASON...

Little Characters ~
All Dressed up in their Holiday Finest,
and ready to party ~



As the Full Moon rises,
the little blue field mouse grabs his invitation
and scurries across the pumpkin patch
to gather together with friends.


Hearing the call of his buddies,
the little Ghost arises,
puts on his finest bow tie and party hat,
and prepares for the evening festivities.


Not wanting to miss the fun,
the little black bat wipes the sleep from his eyes,
adjusts his hat, and flies over
to join in the twilight celebration.


From her perch on the fence,
Miss Kitty, the official Holiday Princess,
welcomes her guests to the Halloween Party.

While Mama Ghoul, fresh from the
hair dresser, puts on her favorite
cape and party dress.

Never one to miss a party,
mummy boy hides behind his blue mask
and practices his latest dance moves.

and last, but not least,
the little blue spider,
spins out a special Halloween message,
"Don't forget to brush your teeth!"

A day of Production

My day started bright and early -
up at 6:10AM to get my daughter off to school -
then right to work producing a new series of Halloween ACEO"s

(Art Cards, Editions, and Originals)

The characters for this series of Halloween ACEO's
are reproductions of illustrations I created last year for
the children's book ~ "Over in the Graveyard".

With my cup of coffee close by ~
I selected the characters I wanted to reproduce ~
hand painted them with acrylic paint ~ Used my trusty
paper cutter to cut linen canvas to 3.5" x 2.5"~
drew and painted the background scene for a few images.
As the paint dried, I took time out for a long walk
with a good friend, then got back to work ~ adhering characters
to the painted art cards.

Time out to pick my daughter up from school ~
for a private art lesson ~
for dinner preparation ~
for feeding my family ~

then back to work ~ with a little bit of white wine ~
a few more characters ~ more drawing - painting -
and adhering.

Tomorrow will consist of taking pictures of this series ~
posting them here and on my etsy site. But for now ~
I'm calling it a day.
Sweet Dreams.
