When I was a child, my favorite paintings and drawings were done at Halloween. I loved, especially, doing Halloween night scenes with haunted houses, picket fences, black cats, jack-o-lanterns and, of course, witches flying across the moon. Guess what? As a professional artist and art instructor at Ree Art Studio Halloween motifs are still some of my favorite work. There is just something inherently “moody” about Halloween subjects. Best of all, I can just let go and have fun as an artist and I can encourage my students to be inventive as well. Be a kid. Be crazy. Create something spooky and ghoulish. Hey! We should be doing that anyway as artists.
