2019 Halloween Cards



I did these cards for a swap. I haven't done swaps in a long time and did some in September and October.  The top card was done with a Tim Holtz stamp. The second was a stamp set I got at a store near mom's house.  It is a Darcie's clear stamp. There are 3D eyes you can get, which I used on my grandson's cards but I just colored this one so it would be easier to mail.

Art Around Halloween



Since I was off work caring for Mom, I was able to do a little painting.  It helped sooth my soul even if they were Halloween things.  This skill is from a Let's Make Art tutorial. 




The three painting above were daily challenges where there was some instruction on how to do part of it and the rest was creativity. 



Finally I did this pumpkin while I taught my sister-in-law how to draw and paint a pumpkin. I was happy with it and that I could teach someone else. 


Feelings



This is from my art journal.  I was dealing with caring for my mother as she was fighting lung cancer.  Cancer is a terrible thing.


I painted this about a day before she passed. I said it was in search of the lion within me.

I also participated in a Creativity and Wellness Summit and did several things that were kind of healing.  Some are in a journal, some are not. Most are watercolor but some are not.
