Ella Rena
Ballerina
Pachyderm Divine!
Come take a chance
And watch her dance
But make sure
You read the sign!
“Front Row Seats Available!”

Let’s face it… clowns can be scary!

I’ll bet I’m not the only one that found this scene scary in The Wizard of Oz! The book and the movie were both frightening and delightful, which makes it such a great memory for so many people!
They just arrived! Another set of postcards… another mailing…. more crossed fingers and toes!
Now to get those witchey ladies to Vista for my Halloween postcard.
I did it! I signed up for an online portfolio over at Picturebook.

Doesn’t everyone have an Auntie Gretchen? Do you sometimes wish you did?

Nighttime Stories

So you thought that all the Halloween candy and those plastic goblins that scream just as your three year shouts “trick or treat” came from the store? Oh no my friends, these fine ladies are in the business of conjuring up a darn spooky atmosphere!
“Fillet of a marsh snake, In the cauldron boil and bake:
Eye of newt and toes of frog, Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
Adder’s fork and blind worm’s sting, Lizard’s leg and owlet’s wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble, Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.”
“Double, double, toil and trouble, fire burn and cauldron bubble!”

Moving ahead on the Sketchbook Project 2011. I usually sketch in the evenings or at lunch.
I try to group them together with like themes
Here are the latest Creepy cute!


Page Six… I’m extra fond of this one!
