Tentacles at the Book Shop

Tentacles in the Book Shop window display

Tentacle Tuesday is all about the Book Shop! For the month of October, my Tentacle Deeps are gracing their window display, complete with skeleton string lights and spooky garland bats. I couldn’t resist Halloweening it up for October, and hopefully my creepy tentacles will be just what they need to keep the spirit of the season.

If you’re in the area, go take a look! The tentacles don’t get out nearly enough, and they’d love to make new friends.

Misty Moon

Misty Moon, watercolor by Amy Crook

Misty Moon, watercolor by Amy Crook

This piece is of course related to the Fairytale Sky series, but something about the way the moon was surrounded by a halo of silver demanded a different name. The clouds are looser, too, lots of extra curls and and brushstrokes escaping the main spirals. I got to use some nifty new paint on them, a duochrome aqua that changes from bluer to greener depending on the angle and the light.

The whole painting is small enough to tuck into a corner of your desk and give you a bit of mystery whenever you want it.

Above and below you can see the art from different angles, with the mist showing up sky blue or aqua green depending on how the light hits.

And below you can see it in its frame, all ready to make its way to your desk, bedside table or bookshelf.
