Be the change you wish to see in the world. Mom, musician, family historian, cook, gardener, perpetual learner of French. The middle of the ocean is my happy place. One of my sons asked me to play SOT w/him on his birthday & I’ve been hooked ever since.

One of the exercises in art class yesterday was to work in grayscale, and the teacher gave us a photograph of Herman Munster to work from, in honor of the season. #Acrylics #Painting #ArtYear #31DaysofHalloween #Spooktober

A head shot of Herman Munster, in shades of black and gray. He has a bemused expression, with a slightly angled, closed-mouth smile, a lightning bolt scar, bolt on the side of his neck and the top of his head is flat.

"And a dreadful thing from the cliff did spring.
Its wild bark thrill'd around:
And a fiendish glow flash'd forth I trow,
From the eyes of the Specral Hound"

The Brownie comes out at night while the owners are asleep, to perform various chores. He may pull pranks on the homeowners if taken for granted, and he may even turn nasty like a Boggart.

two people at a cemetar, dressed in costumes for Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead), a Mexican holiday celebrated to honor and remember deceased loved ones.
One person is dressed as a traditional "Catrina" skeleton figure with a long black dress and a wide-brimmed hat. The other person wears a skeleton-themed sweater, a red plaid skirt, and a hat. Both are holding large bouquets of orange marigolds, known as cempasúchil or "flor de muerto" (flower of the dead),

This week’s @artukdotorg.bsky.social #OnlineArtExchange theme is Spooky Art 👻

We have chosen Death the Bride by Thomas Cooper Gotch.

From a dark sea of blood-red poppies, a spectral bride emerges — veiled in black, crowned with white flowers, her pale smile hovering between innocence and eternity.

Lost to all in an auto accident (together with Bud Powell's younger brother Richie and his wife Nancy) and at the impossibly young age of 25, the very talented trumpeter Clifford Brown, born 20 October 1930.
