Hello and welcome to Paint Party Friday and Haunted Humpday...and Happy Friday the 13th! This week I am linking one post to both, it's been a crazy busy week! I thought it would be fun to try and do a Day of the Dead portrait. I have always loved the DOD/Dia de La Muertos art and found a cool little workshop by TenTwoStudios. I used an image from a magazine as my model and then gave her a DOD makeup, roses for her crown and collaged her on an 8x10 wood background. I'm still working on some of the details but I think she's close to being finished. I had alot of fun creating this piece. She's now available in my Etsy Shop!
And here's a little something to get you in the Halloween mood......Silly Symphony Skeleton Dance by Disney...Spooooooky!
Thanks so much for visiting and please check out all the other artists this week for Haunted Humpday and Paint Party Friday! Have a great weekend!

Your Day of the Dead piece is fabulous!!
I love vintage Disney! It is amazing what they did with "simple" technology.
Your DoD piece is wonderful. Her sallow cheekbones are perfect.
I fell in immediate love with your painting. I did a half calaca face for Halloween last year. Looking forward to the blog Challenge.

This is fabulous! Happy Haunted Humpday!
This is gorgeous! Is there anything you can't do, you artistic virtuoso??? Love the spooky skeleton video.
I love the colors, the sweets, the mystery of El Dia de los Muertos. And you have made it into so much beauty. I'm enchanted by how the background looks like skin... It gives the piece a haunting look.
She is FANTASTIC Kim-wow- such wonderful details!!
Loving the rich colours of your lady.

I love your spooky face! Valerie
Your day of the dead piece is brilliant. I do love those heads and have seen some great tattoos on pinterest based on them. I love old fashioned cartoons from before CGI!
Wow - freaky and beautiful. I love it!
Kim, if DOD art can be beautiful, this one is!
This is a beautiful piece! Just stunning.
Very nice job. Sounds like a great class. Thanks.
