So, I didn't finish my scarecrow painting, my massive household project has been eating almost all of my time and energy; but Wednesday Addams and I wanted to wish you a happy, safe, and spooky Halloween (okay the safe is from me...). The painting is 11"x14" acrylic with texture in some of the cemetary tombstones on canvas, framed.
This is the start of this big eye scarecrow painting, I'm working on her for Halloween, but I may not finish in time as I've embarked on a massive household project... The original painting is 11"x14" duo oils on wood. At this point in the wip work in progress, I've worked mainly on the background. I think the next steps will be to continue on to underpainting...
This is the sketch I submitted for the Ontario Museum of Art Show Día de los Muertos: Recuerdos de Sabores/Flavorful Memories Exhibit. The theme was memories and food and I decided on a whimsical headress of pan dulce that was composed of sweet bread that I shared with my grandparents on the head of a maiden kissed by her ancestor.
I plan on sharing some work in progress views of the piece as well as the finished piece on Dia de los Muertos, but if you'd like to see the original completed painting in person, it's up at the museum. The information is below.

I have an art piece up at the Día de los Muertos: Recuerdos de Sabores/Flavorful Memories Exhibit at the Ontario Museum of Art. I love creating Day of the Dead art and I hope you will love this piece. I will be sharing my sketch and some of my works in progress shots of the piece soon. I'm not planning to attend the opening, but I'm hoping to visit the show at some point. I don't know when though. I will try to take some photographs to share while I'm there...
