When black cats prowl and pumpkins gleam, may luck be yours on Halloween… Yes this is certainly a time of year that is favoured by creative people, offering up a delightful opportunity to let our imagination run wild when creating costumes, crafting decorations and putting our culinary skills to the test when making delicious goodie for Halloween parties or the trick or treaters that come to our door! Yes, there is truly a fun side to the Halloween celebrations, but we can’t forget the seriously spooky side that lies at the beating heart of this season too…
As we prepare for fright night, here are some of the more mysterious scenes, creepy figures and mystical paintings for sale at Art2Arts, to get you in the mood as Halloween approaches!
The Witch Hare – Teresa Winchester
All of the lino prints from Teresa Winchester possess a magical quality, with the intriguing creatures and mystical colour palettes used all representative of a dream like world…or is it a nightmare? There’s something spooky about this particular print, making it perfect for this ghoulish season.
Road to Nowhere – Kelly Marie Davidson
Sometimes, when presented in a particular way, funfairs can have a slightly sinister edge. Don’t you agree? This image certainly paints a similar picture, as the tearful mime only has the chilling sound of her violin for company. This carousel looks eerily empty with only one horse left to ride around the merry-go-round, and even the vibrant carnival colours have fled this painting leaving only this one, lonesome character.
The Lonely Tree – Isabelle Amante
This oil painting for sale uses hints of gold pigment to provide subtle embellishments, glimmering in a way that is representative of the child-like wonder of Halloween. The symbol of the stark, leafless tree is synonymous with this time of year, yet is subtle enough to suit any wall all year round.
After the release of Suicide Squad this summer, we have a feeling that Harley Quinn is going to be the most popular Halloween costume choice this year! This DC supervillain is the infamous Joker’s accomplice, taking up a leading role in the Hollywood movie. While this film didn’t receive the ratings it expected, this powerful character soon became everyone’s favourite criminal. This image shows the evil jester in her most recognisable form, staying true to the costume that was drawn in the DC comics.
