Shocking?
Good. I did this drawing with colored pencils when I was first learning to draw about 3 years ago. I actually painted this same design on my face for Halloween one year and put my blonde hair in a banana clip and sprayed my "mane" black. (Not recommended if you are truly blonde- it takes forever to come out even though it was temporary hair paint). No one recognized me. It was crazy fun.
Anyway, I've spent weeks painting doves and trying to make something beautiful that I've decided that I will devote October to my darker side. Not as in "evil". I have many sides. I think that's why my art is all over the place. I love to paint wild, wonderful, wacky things because sometimes I just have to let that wonky weirdness in me howl at the moon. And what better time than spook month- October.
I challenge you to share some wild, wonky stuff and and come howl at the moon with me.

I agree with all of the above- what an fabulous and creative image - and I like the idea of using October to explore our darker sides... just for fun!
Love it, totally understand the "temporary color" not coming out I sometimes use stage make up and body paint "that washes right out" in a week. enjoy pjc
hmmm, I must give this some thought...she is wonderful and wild indeed!

I love it, Chick! Sometimes, a bit of howling at the moon is good for the soul and, yes, especially in this wild, bewitching month. Hope you are wonderfully well. x
