acrylics, canvas 8x10
Doubling up on challenges this week and both are slightly late getting in but as they say, better late than never! I've been swamped moving all my stuff into my new studio space these last few weeks and getting organized. It's great being organized but a bit stifling for creative flow at least for me - I need to make a mess when I'm working on something other than drawing or sketching.
Anyhow, both challenge words IMT: 'Hats' and IF: 'Extremes' fit for this piece and obviously Hallowe'en had a small part in it too. I feel like these theme words also apply to me and how I've felt all year - trying on many 'Hats' to see which ones fit and taking 'Extreme' steps out of my comfort zone!!
I don't think this is quite finished - I still want to add some more contrast overall, especially to the hat. I also planned on painting something dangling off the end of the hat and possibly adding some text. However, I do like how this piece has a bit of a double take to it - it can be either one witch standing with feet turned out or 2 witches in a standoff for the hat. I'll leave that up to you to decide - on the other hand you may be seeing something different altogether, hee!

Great for both topics! I like the combinayion of high and pointy!
This piece is amazing!--I don't think it needs much more at all, perhaps nothing more. I love the stockings and shoes!
Wonderful pegboard in your studio!!

Laura,
Very amusing and whimsical. Love the stockings and garter. I'm so glad you stopped by my blog! I've been lurking around your blog off and on today.(It's a very slow day at work.) Good luck with the studio! I can't believe how I'm reading through your blog and saying to myself..."I know what you mean!" (all the stuff in the studio and going through it all, the lack of storage in older homes, possibly selling your home in a year, working on illustration) I can totally relate! I'll be stopping by again! ....Oh, I also love your shoe sketch!
