RMW Ramblings

  Autumn Leaves   Acrylic on canvas boards, a ginkgo and a sweet gum leaf  in a thrift store hinged copper frame.  The frame was intended for two photos.    

 Rockford Horrors The Print Set The Rockford Horrors print set started with hand drawings for each.  I used images I found on-line as references for most of the creatures. (There are not many wolves or rattlesnakes locally available for posing.)  The various Tower views are from digital files of older drawings.  I scanned  the Horror drawings and added the color digitally. I used only black and one color for each Horror, picked from a Hallowe'en color palette  that I had composed.  

  Rockford Horrors The Biker     A A phantom biker trailed by his familiar, a huge black bat, terrifies Rockford.    

  Rockford Horrors The Wolf You're not safe yet.  T he Wolf is ahead. I have not seen a wolf in Rockford Park, but I've spotted his fox and coyote canid cousins.    

  Rockford Horrors The Witch Soaring above Rockford Tower, The Witch. I spotted this decal on a woman's car, but resisted the temptation to stick one on Mary's six-speed stick shift convertible.      

  Rockford Horrors The Viper The viper rattles a warning.
