A Halloween show at the Cheyenne Artist Guild

"Sabrina's Sorrow" 11x14 inch Pastel Painting by Gail Watford




October is upon us.  Leaves starting to turn, cool crisp evenings... soon the fireplace will warm us with its glow.  With my thoughts turning to fall,  I was reminded of the upcoming autumn shows.  The first at the  Cheyenne Artist Guild, is a themed show "Ghosts, Goblins and things that go bump in the night".  While working on other projects my thoughts for the ghost and goblins show kept returning to a photo of Sabrina, a friend of mine from Arkansas/Oklahoma area.  She inspired this painting with a beautiful haunted look in a photo she posted on Facebook, by the way in the photo, she was not dressed up as a ghost!  I just used my artist license to make her one!    Hope you enjoy my ghostly interpretation of Sabrina! If you are in Cheyenne, the show will be up all the month of October with a Halloween party and reception during the monthly meeting on October 3rd at 7 pm.
