Halloween is almost here!


This is one of my three driveway lights all dressed up for Halloween.  The garland and bow were easy.  The ghost face took a little time to figure out.  At first I just wanted to take a permanent marker and draw the face on the globe.  Knowing I was not going to be able to replace all three lights after the fun was over and Halloween was past, I had to come up with a better idea.  I settled on using black fabric with an adhesive backing to cut out the eyes and howling mouth.  So far so good.  Hopefully it will peel off easily.  My sister had the idea to leave the faces on and just dress them up as singing choir boys for Christmas.  That's actually not a bad idea.  What do you think?

Autumn

"Winter is an etching, spring a watercolor, summer an oil painting
and autumn a mosaic of them all."
~Stanley Horowitz

I've had this picture for over 15 years, I think.  It came in a book of Mucha postcards that I bought from the gift shop at The Museum of Modern Art.  I remember the day we went to the museum, the gift shop, the book, and most of all this image. I love the look in her eyes, her gypsy kerchief, and the way she's perched in the tree listening to the call of the wilderness. Makes me think of fortune tellers, Halloween, being in the woods in Autumn.  All the things I love about this time of year.
