It's Halloween night, and two baby owls fearlessly move through the forest beneath the candle light.
Hello Friends. I really wanted to illustrate this week's topic, and had a mermaid in mind, but alas, I was afraid I would run out of time. So here is an ACEO I just finished today which fits the topic perfectly I think.
It's now official, I am a terrible blogger. I keep meaning to update, but when I get here I feel there's nothing interesting to say. I'm still reading my favorite blogs, just not updating my own, lol!
The above sketch is what I was hoping to add to Illustration Friday, she is a mermaid, but she is not done yet. I pictured in my mind a murky background, with her face obscured with color, but not sure when I can get to it. So many other things to do.
Today I started decorating for Halloween. I brought out my skeleton and ghost tealights, and a pumpking which lights up when you plug it in.. There is fall garland, and lots of seasonal candles for display. Can't forget the purple and orange lights!
In one month, the Halloween stuff gets put away, and I start preparing for my favorite holiday of all, Christmas! Would you think I was strange if I admited that I played Christmas music yesterday, haha! I stopped after 2 songs, I didn't want to get sick of them already :-)
Coming soon will be some witch paintings for Halloween.
Thanks for putting up with this absent blogger (yup, that's me).
xoxo

Your mermaid is BEAUTIFUL. Her eyes are haunting. And those owls are super cute - I love owls so much. I just finished decorating the house for fall and Halloween. Needs a few additional touches, but the bulk of it is done. :) Theresa
Hey absent blogger..lol! I love the sketch of the Mermaid's face!! I just finished decorating for Halloween too. You would have loved that Halloween store I raided in Buffalo! Oh and I have been watching Christmas movies already- so don't feel silly for listening to the music. After all, it's just 2 1/2 months away!

your halloween piece is charming as can be.
and your mermaid has dreamy watery eyes, she is lovely.
I have a 'thing' for owls, so really enjoyed seeing your ACEO. The drawing of the mermaid is great - want to see it completed.
Thank you so much for you post and support re Nicole. I will be posting an update sometime today.
Wishing you a beautiful weekend.
Hugs,

There is something otherworldly about owls isnt there. Love the pic :D and the mermaid is coming along beautifully.

Betty - Love your Halloween ACEO's and looking forward to the Witches!
Beautiful Mermaid. I love the simplicity of her right now, can't wait to see her when she's done!
Hmmm I should go hall out my Halloween stuff too. Although I don't have a lot of it.
I can't wait for Christmas, that's my favorite holiday of all too.
And P.S. I am doing a horrible job of updating my blog too. If we have nothing to say it's hard to say anything. lol

Betty... Thanks for stopping by ~ I love that you visited me.
Your owl ACEO is adorable! I need to get back to making ACEOs ~ it has been a long time for me.
Your mermaid is going to me very pretty.
How kind of you to mention the death of my brother. It has been hard, but I know he is at peace and hears me when I talk to him.
I promise to be back to visit again soon. I hope you do the same.
Happy Fall!
