My Art is Deadly

.....in a good way!

Day of the Dead, that is! 
I was in the mood to paint some calavera catrinas girls this week.  After lots of controlled lines and small details on the mermaids I've been doing lately, I felt like splashing a little paint around!

Here's the Series all together.....

 

Each is a 6 x 6 inch gallery wrapped canvas.

 

 

This is "A Flower for the Dead"

 

 

I  used vintage dictionary pages on them and incorporated the defined word into their names.

 

 

This is "Lost in a Memory"

 

 

 

....and this is "Eyes that Haunt"

 

 

I wanted her to look a little spectral with her sheer veil and thin features....but then have these big, captivating eyes....

 

 

Of course, her word is "Haunt"

 

 

Hope these get you in a spooky kinda mood ;P

 

Oh, but wait, I almost forgot to show you something new I'm trying out! 

 

....bookmarks!

 

 

 

What do you think?

 

I think these would make great teacher gifts, a cute way to dress up a gift bag or a wonderful companion to a bookstore gift card.

 

I've updated the shop to include these new offerings :)

 

Hope you are having a creative weekend!

Lotsa Hugs!
