Creatures of the Night Part 8: "To Roost"

This is part of a continuing series of paintings in my sketchbook. It was meant to be a daily painting project throughout the month of October, but since I got sidetracked on another project, I'll keep on anyway. 

This week on my drawing board

Getting ready for Halloween, though I somehow never get my decorations up in time. In MATS class we're doing dining plates based on traditional Uzbeki Suzani motifs. A bit of a challenge for me.

Mysterioso No. 2

The Birdsong family car trip

Sketches for decorative dinnerware. We'll see what happens!

Charles Addams

Hoping you have a Happy Halloween! Seems like a perfect time for a bit of the Chas.
