Witchcraft in Waiting: My Daydreaming Toad Original Oil Painting for Drawlloween!

 


It's finished! Here's my latest for Mab Graves's #Drawlloween challenge, connecting several prompts, including today's: #swarm!


Meet this toad, titled "Witchcraft in Waiting," who has "borrowed" Elphaba's hat and is utterly lost in a daydream about a swarm of "chonkers" flies. He should be reading his spellbook, but his amphibian ambition has been waylaid by a toadally wicked thought!


I first sketched this out as a drawing for #toad and realized the painted version worked perfectly for #spellbook and now #swarm. I happily hopped out of my comfort pond to bring you this original, framed piece.


This 4"x6" traditional oil painting on paper is presented in an oval frame.


The original painting is available for purchase! Please contact me directly for details if you're interested.


Thanks so much to @MabGraves for hosting this fun challenge!
