Description
This watercolor portrays the daughter of a friend who loves to draw, paint, and do other kinds of art. One Halloween a year ago October, she told her Mom she wanted to be an artist for Trick or Treat. A short time afterward, her Mom sent me a photo of the costume they had created, thinking that I, as an artist, might get a kick out of it. I absolutely LOVED it, and thought at the time that it just might make a good painting. Recently, as I was trying to decide on my next watercolor subject, that photo was really "calling me." I couldn't help smiling whenever I looked at it! I haven't done many portraits and was afraid I'd ruin it somehow, but thankfully, I'm very pleased with the finished piece. Now I am excited to show it to the "Halloween Artist" and her Mom!

Barbara, this is just a great portrait, and no wonder the photograph of this girl spoke to you until you painted it! You certainly did a marvelous job~I love the hint of the Halloween pumpkin in the background. like/f

Thanks so much for your comment and support, Anne! I was especially pleased that you noticed the pumpkin, which I purposely added to clarify the title. Your visits are always an honor and a pleasure!
