I have been neglecting my poor little Halloween art blog for a bit too long but the EHAG B&W Fright Challenge has given me a great reason to post. When I think of b&w frights, I think of those wonderful old horror movies I used to watch with my grandfather when I was a kid. Everything from Dracula to Frankenstein to Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy. I love them all. My favorite is The Bride of Frakenstein, you've gotta love the hair (that was my favorite part to paint). I've painted her on an oval wooden plaque which I've antiqued an added a crackle finish. Her frail body looks like it can barely support that enormous head! Be sure to search EBAY for other EHAG art, I'll have my Bride up for sale starting sometime today.
