The Party draws near....

 
  "Magic Witch"
original Acrylic painting
(sold)

Original "Work Doodle"
2011
The Witch is tuning up her broom
Black Cats are gathering and starting to groom.

Ghosts practice  their moans and are ready to fly,
soon Ghosts of all sizes will fill the sky.

They're all getting ready for a dreadful night.
full of mischief, tricks and fright.

When the sun has set and the wind starts to howl,
listen for the hoot of the old grey Owl.
These signs will tell you the time has arrived,
When you enter just beware
We surely hope you're able to surrvive
For you are about to get quite a scare!
(~ original poem, by me!~)

It's almost time for the HALLOWEEN PARTY!
I'm getting anxious and can't wait!
I hope you'll visit me here on OCTOBER 22nd......
for all the fun and spooky festivities!!!!

DRACULA ...finally done!

Finished Drac today at work
I love him!
Dracula
my current "work doodle".
I'll finish it tomorrow... I hope!


another work doodle


I'm still "doodling" at work. Printing the drawings and watching co-workers color them.
They're having a ball!
After I raved about Prismacolor colored pencils, the woman next to me, went and bought
$50 worth! 
I love that my art makes them happy, that ART in general makes them happy!

AUTUMN



I love Autumn Skies!


Gotta find the RIGHT ONE!

The Orange and Yellow Striped,
are my favorites!

Crisp, tart Apples






I love Clouds!


meet
"MOSELY" The Maple

I really love Autumn.
The colors, the feel, the smells
My favorite little Maple tree, "MOSELY" has the slightest Reddish  color to it's still very Green leaves. And in about 2-3 weeks....it will be flaming Red & Orange!....... I'm so lucky that I can see it from my art room and bedroom. It's like "they" knew how much I love Maple trees in the Autumn

Another version of Willa

I got to color the full verson of my drawing today. I'm in love with PRISMACOLOR  pencils now!

I'm busy thinking of fun things to do for the "FANCIFUL TWIST" Halloween Party! I'm thinking  freebies and give-a-ways! so BE SURE AND STOP IN on OCTOBER 22!.. can't wait to meet you!

Cubical Doodles

Happy Pun'kin

Original Drawing


In Sepia just for fun



Polly may waddle.... but It's ME who doodles ALL DAY!

It's true... I do.
At work... all day..... .
Well... I work at a call center... taking phone orders, from mostly Senior citizens.. (Bless their heart) and some times... they're not "quite" ready.... and I have to wait.. while they get their......order...... credit cards, glasses.... or  the cat off their lap. So.... I have some time.... to Doodle.
AND DOODLE I DO.
All these were drawn and colored at work... : )
It's a time passer.. and stress reliever!!
So much so, that I gave copies of  the witch drawing and pumpkin, for my co-workers to color and they had a ball! They hung their finished pieces in their cubicals and it is looking pretty Hallow-weeny around there now!
My boss?.... well he's the one who printed the copies!
how lucky am I.
