Well, that half hour turned out to be quite long! Our internet service was down all this time. I called the company but nobody answered because it is a holiday. Anyway, I left a message, and miraculously it is back on. Thank goodness!
Anyway, here is the Halloween scene on slate all finished! It took a bit longer to do because of all the little details. The graveyard has famous people that are in ghost stories, except for maybe Sarah Good, who was accused of being a witch in Salem, Massachusetts in 1692. Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots (1587), and Lady Walpole (1726). How all three of these ladies ended up at this cemetery is mysterious indeed! lol
Raynham Hall in Norfolk, England, is home to the subject of one of the most famous ghost photos ever captured, the Brown Lady is named so because she appears in a rich brocade brown dress. She is widely believed to be Lady Dorothy Walpole, sister of Sir Robert Walpole, who married Charles, 2nd Viscount Townshend in 1713. She died under mysterious circumstances in 1726, and sightings of her began shortly after.
I painted an old Victorian house at the top of the hill with a black cat walking on the old fence. The spooky tree is just waiting for some "Trick or Treaters" to walk under those creepy branch hands. The owner of the property has carved a couple of pumpkins and placed them at the base of the tree to lead the way. An owl with red glittering eyes is also waiting for new arrivals to pass by. I wouldn't go through that graveyard with that big spider waiting in the web! Rhinestones adorn the top of each tombstone, and the round clear window at the top of the house is also a rhinestone. Silver glitter makes the path up to the house look like dew and each strand of the spiderweb also has silver glitter.
All kinds of stories could be made for this scene, and I had a lot of fun painting it. BWHAHAHAHAHAHA!
I'm going to have to make a new store gallery page for the Halloween pumpkin rocks and this scene with pricing sometime tomorrow. Going to spend the rest of the day with the hubster.
