"Jack and the Skeleton"
10 x 14 watercolor
Well, it's finished! And on the first of October, very spooky connection don't you think? This was a really fun painting. I loved painting the bones on his costume, all that reflected light, it's one of my favorite things to paint.
Did you know that October is National Art Month? Neither did I, but I think it's a very cool thing. I have another art exhibit opening tonight in Ogden, Utah at the Gallery at Ogden Blue Print. It's a statewide juried show in honor of National Art Month. It should be fun, I'll let you know how it goes. And maybe, if I'm having a good hair day, I'll take some pictures. :)
And the contest is now officially over, all I have to do is tally up the entries and stick them in random.org to choose a winner. I thought that would be the fairest way to do it, but if you earned any extra entries you'll have a greater chance to win. Good luck to you all! I hope to have it all finished this weekend so I can announce the winner on Monday. So, be sure to check back then.
Have a great weekend everyone!

It turned out great, Crystal.
ReplyDeleteIt's awesome, Crystal. Lots of luck with the exhibit, though you don't need luck with all that talent. My goodness!
ReplyDeleteVery spooky! Good luck with the exhibition!
ReplyDeleteOh stop it. You are ALWAYS having a good hair day.
ReplyDeleteThis is adoreable! Loving it! You will be a hit at the exhibition I'm sure!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful play or lights and shadows! Love the expression on his face:) You have painted him 'I want to hug' adorable!
ReplyDeleteAnother amazing, beautiful child. I can just look and look at your paintings. Good luck on the art exhibit.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry about your hair! Ten years from now you'll look at the picture and think you looked good! That's my experience, anyway. I hated my driver's license photo until I had to get a new one. Then I wished I still looked like that!
I hope your art show went well. :)
ReplyDeleteI can hardly wait till Monday. Good luck to everyone!
I did not know it was national art month. Thanks for the info. I love how reflective you got things. you really know how to use watercolor.
ReplyDeleteSplendid work!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun and fabulous painting! I love the costume but that cheeky looking pumpkin is just brilliant! I for one would love to see some photographs - Have a great time!
ReplyDeleteLove this one, Crystal. It has such a fun feel to it and love the dimensionality of it.
ReplyDeleteGreat fun Crystal!
ReplyDeleteOh - the final piece! It looks awesome. And what a terrific memory that will be : ) It looks fantastic Crystal. Greta expression and the blacks (and the light hitting them) are superb. I can't wait to hear how your show went (with pics!) and to see who won the contest.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the show and love this spooky little guy, great painting!
