Guess what season I’m totally ready for??? I’m determined to live in complete denial of our frying temperatures and concentrate on the idea of October. Sound good? Well, then we can be friends 😀
I’ve also had several requests for autumn postcards, so I thought I’d better get started on some designs so I’ll have the cards in plenty of time. This little painting sort of just thought itself up–my painting desk overlooks the back garden and I found myself wondering what a witch’s garden would look like. I imagine cone flowers, bee balm, daisies, and all sorts of herbs. And cats, of course. Can’t forget the cats.
I also wanted to paint a quaint little New England village because surely, all of those sleepy little villages must have had a cute little witch to spice things up, right? Imagine the trouble she caused 😉 or imagine the young ladies sneaking up the path to her gate for a love potion or something to pinken their cheeks and brighten their eyes so a certain young man would notice them? I’m sure this little witch would be much obliging.
This painting is just now on etsy and looking for a new home! I wish the scanner could capture all the tiny details– of course nothing compares to the original. But maybe you’ll fall in love with her ( and her cats, they are, of course, inseparable!) and want to bring her home with you?
You can find here HERE— for now!~
Back to painting–
