Happy Halloween!

 My mother's huge retirement complex is always very decorated for the holidays.  For the last several weeks there have been 3 foot scarecrows scattered throughout the gardens and lining walkways.  I stopped during our walk to sketch one - quickly in pen on tinted paper and then watercolor pencil for color.

I'm off to the International Quilt Festival in Houston on Wednesday - 5 days with old friends.

Have a lovely time, looking forward to seeing your sketches and photos from the quilt festival!

One thing I miss here in Manhattan is seeing all the decorations outside houses. Love your scarecrow!

Enjoy the quilt show for me as well as yourself!
