Woods Witch: mixed media on canvas, 2010.
This was inspired based on the poem "The Wood Witch" by Madison Cawein, about a witch or perhaps will o' the wisp who lures travelers into her swamp. It's in a collection of Halloween poems I regularly go to. This was actually the first painting/collage I'd done in many years. I'd been wanting to explore mixed-media work, and the idea of a haunted bog seemed to be a good place to start playing with layering techniques. Below is a close-up of one of the lady slippers:
For a first attempt, I was very happy with this. I really loved how the lady slippers turned out.
