Halloween Night 1 - Spider Lady

Tonight's the start of my 13 night countdown to Halloween project!

The first painting is from the Harry Potter book called Moste Potente Potions. I fell in love with the illustration of the spider lady and just had to based my Halloween project around her. Here's some information on the spider lady that I found on Harry Potter Wiki:

      "In the book, there is a picture (Figure VII) of a woman
       with a grotesquely large spider on her head, almost worn like
       an ornament. Whether or not this is an effect of a potion is
       unknown. It is possible that it is the side-effect of
       accidentally imbibing a Polyjuice Potion contaminated by
       spider hairs, similar as to when Hermione was partially
       transfigured into a cat when her Polyjuice Potion was
       contaminated with cat hair. "

Check back tomorrow night to see what new lady concoction will be painted.

New Victorian Halloween Project!


Today's the start of my 13 day countdown to Halloween project. For the next 13 nights I'll be posting a new painting inspired by Victorian Halloween at 7PM GMT.
