A Different Perspective

I'm having great fun playing with three point perspective in this piece in progress, a painting on canvas - sort of a "witch's eye view" of the village below....

My hope was to finish it this evening, but general life maintenance got in the way (have to run to the Dr's for a prescription refill) so look for it Wednesday or Thursday on eBay.

Can you believe it's just FOUR days until Halloween??!! I can't wait - two wicked cool parties to attend - an open house at my friend Jen's, and a Harry Potter party at Eric and Dustin's house. Not to worry about the trick-or-treaters though; the local Powers-That-Be have decreed Friday the 30th as "trick or treat night"...

Don't even get me started....

Back very soon with a glimpse of the finished painting. Until then, Happy Haunting!!

    Cool painting, it almost looks like an animation cell from Disney studios!

    Wow! Love the painting, the perspective is wickedly good (ok, I'm being bad with the puns!)...

    Ugg, I hate when the powers that be mess with holidays...when I lived in a small town, Halloween was relegated to the day before and the 31st was always "Happy Harvest Time"--as halloween was considered satanic (I kid you not about this!)....

    I know you will have fun at your parties though!

    Thanks, all! Too funny, Will - when I started sketching the rooftops, I told my husband "this reminds me of the Peter Pan ride at Disneyland", hehe. :)

    Love the painting! So original!

    I don't understand how people can mess with dates like that. Perhaps Christmas will be on the 26th this year?

    Looking forward to seeing the completion... I zoomed the pic up and was in awe at the perspective of the houses etc.

    Enjoy the parties :)
