Welcome to my (Halloween inspired) s~A(R)T~urday linky party!
“There is no line between fine art and illustration; there is no high or low art; there is only art, and it comes in many forms.” James Gurney
I really wanted to show you photo art this Saturday, but it was not to be. This has been another week of drawing for me, Halloween inspired, because… tonight –
’tis the one night of the year,
when witches fly and children fear
people and things they may meet
’tis the night of ‘trick or treat’
Children are getting ready
to scare and fright,
will this be their sight?
Witches shoes, cats holding steady?!
Pray that it will not.
For in the witches mind
something’s brewing hot
Stay safe during this special night of nights
welcome all the weird or wonderful sights
look out and up and enjoy the scene
Wishing you a Happy Halloween!
I drew these pictures last week and I really, really wanted to color them. But I have so many different ideas of different color schemes that I didn’t want to color them right there on paper in my journal. So, of course, I grabbed my scanner and scanned them in this morning. Since it was a bit of a rush job, I’m afraid there still may be some spots or shadows on the pics.
What do you think? How would you color these?
I hope you are having a great Halloween, even if you are somewhere where it is not being celebrated or you are being rained on. Just relax and enjoy. That is exactly what I intend to do. And maybe, just maybe I’ll take a peek outside and up to the sky…

“Don’t think about making art, just get it done.
Let everyone else decide if it’s good or bad, whether they love it or hate it.
While they are deciding, make even more art.”

I would color them in vivid hues of oranges, yellows,and greens. And most assuredly there will be purple! I love the shoes. It would be cool if we could have them in real life huh? Somebody needs to make us some! 🙂
Yep, those colors were definitely on my mind, too.
You know, back in the late 80s I used to have similar shoes and my brother-in-law always called them ‘witches shoes’, but I loved them. Wouldn’t mind having them again.
DU KANNST WIRKLICH WAS!
(Ich kann nur SAMMELN).
Herzlich P.
Auch sammeln und präsentieren will gekonnt sein 🙂
Your first drawing is really cool.
Enjoy your weekend Claudia!
Thanks, Ramona
Cool, festive ghoul! Great artwork, Claudia!!! BTW, your photo gallery at the start up of your site is fabulous. I love it! You are awesome!
Awww, thank you so much, Cathy. Makes me very happy that you like it. And also my new-ish front page 🙂
Cool and cute! It was definitely a stormy Halloween here in my neck of the woods >>>>>
Yeah, I heard that there were parts of the country that didn’t have it quite as nice as we did. Glad you’re o.k. though.
ich glaube, ich bin nicht die Einzige, die diese schwierigkeit hat.
also mein computer läuft immer, ich schalte den nie aus. er geht auf spar”flamme” wenn ich nicht dran bin.
also mache ich das mit dem herunterfahren nur ganz ganz ungern.
sprich, ich habe es jetzt NIcht getan. also finde ich in deiner linken seitenleiste als letzten beitrag das vom mittwoch. weissderkuckuck.
ich kann damit gut leben, aber vielleicht, wenn du mehr teilnehmer hättest gern, ob da was zu verändern geht?
vielleicht kannst du ja mal von einem anderen gerät aus probieren, ob du als “fremde” wirklich an deine neuesten beiträge drankommst?
…..
na, streuen wir pfeffer drauf und dann kriegen wir es runter…
schöne woche, herzlich Petra
Petra – lass uns das via Email nochmal besprechen, o.k.?
These are fabulous.They would make such cool Halloween decorations. Love them all. 🙂
🙂 Thank you, Susi. Want to color them?
Wonderful compositions. beautiful shoes.
Yes! The shoes – I’d love to have a pair (including the cats!)
Very clever and cute! Looking forward to more…..
Thank you very much, Maron. oops, you didn’t leave your link, I hope I’ll find you…
I love the way your brain works! Very cool Halloween drawings.
Hah – when my brain works – hahaha – seems to me that is not always the case lately 🙂
Oh I love the I Put a Spell on You one! Now I have to watch Hocus Pocus again. LOL
I am not sure how I would colour them? I think I’d try each one a different mood perhaps. It would be cool to see one with all the bright Halloween colours, but also to see one where they are more muted — almost like chalk drawings perhaps – and then another that is very minimalist; just black, white and orange or yellows.
I think that would look very cool.
sorry I missed ya — with a house full of 8 kids and 7 adults: I was buried in festivities!!
I am doing so many drawings, doodlings, illustrations these days I am thinking of putting together a book, an ebook or something for coloring. I’ll send you one if I ever get finished 🙂
No worries about missing sARTurday, you had more important things to take care of – family & friends.
You are a good little artist! These are adorable!
Well, I am actually trying to be a real, big artist – but starting off ‘little’ is natural and totally o.k. 🙂 Thanks, Kim.
