I can see them oddly enough! How strange. The techs should have it fixed when they go back to work. They don’t work weekends unfortunately. And of course we always glitch on the weekends!

Jim, The witch has such a great expression and those teeth!!

Wonderful skull, I recognized it right away.

The bat is beautifully done too. I like how you did the wings. It looks like it’s coming right at you.

The fourth! Holy cow that’s creepy. So well painted but creepy! Love it!

Mona –  a very cute hippo looking monster… would make a gorgeous child’s cuddly toy.  Well done

Gosh,  your witch is certainly a fright…

The bat is well painted,  not something that I feel is good luck though. (I went to the ‘good luck’ bat caves in Bali where if you allow yourself to be shat on,  its supposed to be good fortune.)

Alas poor yorrick… jeez,  certainly well painted but definitely a scary face

The face is scary as well…
Good job.

Cheers Merri

They are all showing up now.

Mona – You did an amazing pink adorable monster. Well done!

Old_Hobby – Well done on all of those. The witch is great. I like that bat as well too. The flooded one is close to my favorite of the 4.

Cue for a song ….”I can see clearly now the glitch has gone….”

Jim… a green witch is definitely a monster! I like them all, but #4 takes the cake … or grabs whatever/whoever it finds!?

Cheers, Maureen

Old Hobbyest – All four are awesome.  The Witch is great. Skull is well done. Bat is creepy but that last one is going to give me nightmares!  Great work.

Mona Cute monster. Very nicely painted. Glad the site’s technical issues were sorted.

Jim All four of yours are coming through. Love them all. Each different in its own way, but all four are well painted and creative. The “Alas, Poor Yorick” is a really effective painting, IMHO with the living arm almost appearing as lower part of the skull, merging the living flesh with the dead bone. The witch is a perfect Hallowe’en painting.

Mona, that is a very cute monster, and I’m sure she could be destructive at that size.

Jim, love the colours in your witch painting. The skull is well done. I remember the bat, maybe more monster than pet lol. The last one is scary!

I wanted to do something Halloween-y. This is 5×7″ on mixed media paper. The sky colours are off, it’s more of a dark purple. I tried to adjust it but couldn’t get it to look right.

I’m glad you all see my posted images. I can’t. I even rebooted my computer. So be it! Everyone else is focused in on the theme of the month.

Michelle- Totally Halloween cool pumpkin monster! The colors look great to me too. Wonder if that is what the Charlie Brown Great Pumpkin looks like!

Michelle, that’s clever! Love the leafy arms and the glowing eyes in the evening light.
