Of Paint & Moons & Pumpkins + Some Magic too…

Time to share more paint, and places and magical journeys.

All popped into the shop today.

What to share first…?

I have ventured Through the Trees again you see.

Part of my ongoing series.

It's a place I really like to be.

What is beyond the trees?

I know you must know.

For all folks who venture back through, and make their way down the dark earthen path, have been to the most wondrous place you can imagine.

There have been clowns and gypsies you've met, and now…

Is it the circus ringmaster himself?

And a good witch?

A fairy queen perchance?

Pulling her loot? 

With wand still in magical glow?

Why yes yes, it must be them.

As giant moon guides their way.

Who would have guessed, that if you look close enough down to the left…

Someone has made a teensy appearance.

 It's their fluffy black cat, Gertrudis, who always meets them when they are halfway home.

Oh, and let's not forget their little dog, Puppet…

A performer dog, don'tcha know.

Oh he knows all sorts of tricks.

He fancies himself a lion though.

And thinks he can even roar.

Which on some nights, when the moon is extra full, we hear that he can.

Thick glowing clouds and the hugest of moons.

Leaves have fallen from the trees.

Chilly nights, and mittens, four.

There is still a buzz of enchantment swirling around, as they venture

Through the Trees…

Through the Trees, A Magical Night.

16" x 20" x 1.5"

But that is not my only tale for the day.

If you don't mind.

Witches have peeked out from deep in the woods.

Cottage chimneys, with sparkles and fairy dust, puff through the autumn air.

And, what we have heard is that…

Mathilde is hosting a splendid little gathering!

See, in this house, witches aren't seasonal.

They are all the timers.

Once a witch, always a witch, right?

🙂

Really, what proper household doesn't host a witch year round, I ask you?

And further, what fairytale, isn't chock full of witches?

Hmm, my pretty?

Looks like Mathilde is throwing just the sort of party I would like to jump into.

You?

Imagine, if we really could be there?

At a little fête hosted by a witch in the woods?

Candy apples, magic tea…

Sign me up, please!

I think it's time for us to dream up some snazzy frocks.

And let the magic totally, madly, unfold.

Mathilde, the Little Witch.

18" x 24" x 1.5"

 

Both pieces, can now be found in my online shop.

I tell you, I am giddy with this flutter of autumnal excitement.

You?

We are so lucky for seasons.

Truly.

See you extra soon!

 

Love, Vanessa
