A few notes...

Here I am at the FAIR...my daughter-in-law caught
me when I wasn't looking.

I think it's taken a week to recover from those 11 very long days...
a little lesson in the pros and cons of doing a show that long...
I'm pretty sure it was my first and last show
of such length.
Our next show is October 10th and 11th...
from 9 to 5...
after 11 days at a show...this show will be easy.

In the meantime...
I'm working on two commission pieces...
one of which is a 24" x 48"...
(I NEVER work on pieces of this size...so it's taking longer than normal.)
I'll post some pics when I finally get it done.

I'm working on some
'Goth Fairy Tale' paintings and dolls...
I'll post these in my
Rustic Goth Shop
but, still take any that don't sell in the shop
to the next show.
We're working on some 'sweet' pumpkins and other
Halloween themed pieces as well.

We're going to have a lot of new
art pendant pieces for the next show too!
Hopefully we'll be able to do enough
to post some new pendants our shops.

So...I'm staying very--very busy!
Look for a lot of brand new paintings...
prints...dolls...pendants...and other
'gothic goodness'
coming soon!

New paintings in the Shop....

"The Necromantic"
is the newest painting in my
Rustic Goth Etsy Shop.

Jaime and I found some little pine wood plaques
on our outing to Hobby Lobby...
so I decided to do this little 'goth' painting
on one of those plaques.
(It really is much easier to paint on canvas.)

Anyway...my photos of this piece are 'wretched'...
maybe I need to sit down with the camera
manual and see if I can get some tips
on how to take decent pictures with this particular camera.

For one thing...the pictures are "HUGE" when I upload
them....so the photos pick up 'imperfections' that
are not noticeable to the 'naked eye'.
And...let me not get started on 'true colors'...

I'm thinking about 'photoshopping' this piece
and also offering it as a print...
I'll be able to smooth out the imperfections the camera picked up.

"Pumpkin Patch"
is a little 'Goth' ACEO I painted
as I begin to
"think Fall".

Again...it is so much better in person...
my photographing abilities being
as lacking as they are.
