Artist of the Month: October

What could be more fitting than to have paintings of witches and kittens on display for witching month? We put up over 40 paintings for show at the 2nd Street Art Gallery last Friday. I’ve been painting furiously for this event since last March and have fallen so in love with my witches and cats…

Mutiny on a Broomstick

The intention was to add spooky trees and branches with owls and haunting eyes to surround the witch as she chased Trickster, her playful, broom-jacking feline familiar. However, one by one, Trickster’s 3 rowdy kittens popped into view to add some fun and chaotic playfulness to the scene.

Witch Plays Magic Eye with Trickster

Witch relaxing under a witches moon while performing magic to mesmerize Trickster. The fun thing I discovered about this painting is it can be effectively displayed in any direction.

Moon Phases

Lunar phases of the moon are vital so witches may perform rituals, incantations and magical recipes to witches. Why not add a few kittens to the recipe. I’ll be making more of this theme for sure.
