“The Pumpkin Heist” by Deborah Gregg Halloween is just around the corner and the cats really really wanted a pumpkin of their own this year. The patch down the road was full of them. Beautiful big ones too. It didn’t occur to them that it was the pride and joy of the witch who lives there. They made their plan and sure enough. It could not have been easier! They joyfully marched along with their big orange pumpkin, unaware that the Witch watched the whole thing ( the bright lantern helped, Ha! ). Lucky little group, she loves Halloween and her precious pumpkins, but she also loves cats! This small painting is done with acrylics on 140 lb, acid free watercolor paper with acrylics. it has a protective finish and measures 4″ tall by 6″ long. (It is best matted and framed, not included) The copyright notice is on the digital image only, not on the actual painting.The original was recently sold on Etsy. I would be happy to paint one for you for $62.00 . This includes shipping and insurance. Have a Wonderful Day!

Witches are usually seen as not too nice and up to no good…but not this one, really more of a “Do Gooder” sort. A goofy one at that but she has a heart of gold. Instead of wreaking havoc on Halloween night she visits an isolated village somewhere in the world and assisted by her crew of one, her trusty tuxedo cat Jingle Bells, passes gifts and toys out to the children… from her big velvet bag. Yeah I know, it just so happens that Santa is her BFF! And he’s just full of great ideas! Happy Halloween everyone!

The wonderful Earthy autumn months are just as good a time for love to bloom as the Spring. Everyone feels good with the cupboards full, looking to get cozy….all creatures come together then looking for safe shelter, storing up food, working with each other to make it through another winter. And the Wizard has fallen for the Witch. Love blossomed in the light of the full Harvest Moon. And a side note: love has also happened to a pair of round little pumpkins. I know…you wouldn’t think…and two black cats. Love is everywhere! A tiny, primitive style folk art painting, done with acrylics on acid free,140 lb. watercolor paper.

“October Willow In The Wind”

by Deborah Gregg
When the October winds kick up the group (and at this time of year the jolly Jack ‘O Lanterns are always welcome!) gathers under the big Willow on the hill and take turns swinging their cares away. Simple things are the best.

Dressed in her warmest coat, made of the soft down from a milkweed seed pod, she rescues a sad little cat lost in a chilly fall storm. She will see it home. Her heart is as good and pure as any angels.

They would have been fine if they had anything but apples in those baskets. Spooks and apples…..they are crazy for them! She doesn’t fly on a broomstick or stir up smelly potions and definitely would never “get” anyone let alone their little dog (she loves all creatures), she is a good witch and a good cook! She makes the best apple pies in the county so when you need apples you go get them, even if night has fallen and you have to go through the haunted forest. Her loyal friends the cats are doing their best to hold it together as they fly along on the path hitting every bump, apples bouncing out and into the hands of the spooks. And little do they know…that’s all they want….they are really quite sweet. Very misunderstood you know.  :)  A tiny, primitive style folk art painting, done with acrylics on acid free,140 lb. watercolor paper.

Hazel is just about ready for customers. Her cupcakes, rich, luscious and beautifully decorated, are anticipated all year and she’s been cooking all day in her outdoor oven. Of course she works for months perfecting the secret recipe (handed down to her by her great Aunt “Double Wide Witch Wanda”) and supported, as you can see by their rotund shapes, by her two constant companions. She really should charge more…but maybe it’s best for this little group if there aren’t any leftovers! ha! This is an aceo  (an art card). Painted on 140 lb. watercolor paper with acrylics. It measures a tiny 2 1/2″ by 3 1/2″. I would love to paint one just like this one for you! price is 57.00. This includes postage and insurance. Have a great day!! :)  :)

The field trip to pick some wild violets is over. The storm crawled quickly up over the hill, the rumbling and ominous color telling them to take cover. Always take these storms seriously. And that said, there’s nothing wrong with a little over reaction…or alot of over reaction! (Cats can be real babies sometimes….) Happy Spring!!!

And this little hill has needed a tree to anchor it and provide some shade for those who do their dreaming here. The cat and especially the birds agree! Happy Spring Gardening!
