Happy Halloween
If you have been following my blog ,by now you must know ,I love to paint houses, mostly with character , many are in Maine and this one is one of them located in the town of Hollowell , I painted this a few years ago , this house just reminded me of a Steven King house, I made the sky drastic to give it that scary hunted feeling . A perfect day to post this one.
Happy Halloween to all ,

New England fall
I watched the RED SOX the last four nights , They are the World Champions and I am glad it's over , I need sleep! I managed to paint this scene nearly falling asleep on my palette.
This scene is on my walk inside our beautiful local cemetery. Also worked on my yard today , we had our first frost last night,that means pulling out all the dead flowers , now it will be the leaves to pick up, not looking forward to that .

fall scene #4
The RED SOX are doing great, watched the game until 2 AM , I never cared one way or another before , but the New England spirit is catching! So again Go RED SOX!
The other morning when my friend and I were walking with our dogs , the moon was still up , when I got back home I painted this scene from memory ,and used a bit of artistic licence .

The Woodland path
Posting between commercials as the game is on , Go RED SOX !
This is a path that goes to the mountain where the bears live , last year I was about 30 feet from one, he came down while I was painting at our picnic table , my husband was talking to me when he said to me BEAR.. , I didn't panic ! I grabbed my camera from the table and walked to get a better shot , he actually posed for me , he was a teenager ,I guess! but big enough, about a month later one of my neighbor bragged about getting his bear, I was a bit sad because he really was a cute one, I might paint him one day from the photo I took.

I am still trying to catch up with my work from my two weeks of traveling with my relatives ,

Friday I went to the opening of the NH Pastel Society, I am a member , we have a show in Jaffrey NH at the Civic center. Saturday I was at an outdoor show and Sunday I drove 150 miles to deliver work in Portsmouth NH. The weather has been really nice so my husband and Clancy came and enjoyed the afternoon in this wonderful port city ,very lively! today I had to pick up more work from another establishment , so in these last few weeks I have driven over 1000 miles in this area leaving me Little time to paint .

This was a smaller version of a large painting I had done in the past , I also design greeting cards when I am not outside painting, this was one of them , I will let some of my originals go for someone who will appreciate them.
