Happy Halloween!

"Masquerade"
approximately 21"x27.5"
acrylic on fabric (attached to an old cupboard door)

You may remember the start of this painting from last week.  (You can see the work in progress here).  Well, she is finished just in time for the masquerade ball over at Inspiration Avenue!

And since a Sunday wouldn't be a Sunday without a visit to Sophia's blog, I've included the sketch that started it all....


It's time to celebrate Halloween so I'm heading over to my friend Natasha May's Party!  Wheee!!!


Put on your costume, join in the fun, and...


Have a Happy Halloween!
