HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Here, to celebrate this special day, an encore presentation of backgounds from LONESOME GHOSTS.

What a boo-tiful haunted house!

The office interior was a challenge - Mickey, Donald and Goofy were animated all over that B/G. The patchwork quilt approach worked to recreate this, one section at a time.

Hope you have a great Halloween.

Happy trick or treats!Source URL: http://lifestyleartsblogs.blogspot.com/2007/10/

Lepidopteras

I finished the watercolor display I made for my son Daniel's b-day.
The top picture is lit from the back...
I put it against a sunny window
and I love how the butterflies appear to be glowing.

This other picture was lit from the front.
Now all it needs is a nice shadow box frame.

Sarah & David wed at The Old Mill

On a beautiful bright September afternoon Sarah & David tied the knot at the picturesque Old Mill in Aldermaston. This was a wedding filled with lots of love and fun, epitomised by the young bridesmaids who must have covered every blade of grass in the gardens.

After an emotional service the lovely newlyweds enjoyed the sunshine and toured the grounds creating some memorable pictures. After some heartfelt speeches the guests were treated to a chocolate fountain (a dry cleaning company must have done well after this wedding) and the DJ got the party going with the first dance of many.

Final touches

I thought I'd post this one in the spirit of Halloween. This is an image taken at sunset on October 27, 2007 in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. The temperature outside was a chilling 46 degrees. Once that sun went down it got cold in a hurry.

Happy Halloween!
