Circus, Circus

Before the Show, 22 x 28, oil on canvas, by Heather Dixon

The kids have joined the circus! Here is my recent painting of my children in this year's Halloween costumes. As usual we did our annual photo shoot but this year I wanted to do a painting as well. I liked the opportunity that a painting offered me to be completely whimsical. (There was not a pony at the actual photo shoot) I had so much fun with this painting that I may have to paint one based on their Halloween costumes every year!

T BIRDS AND A PINK LADY

Halloween 2010 Photo Shoot "Grease is the word!"

This year's Halloween costume photo shoot was the most fun yet! Clara is a Pink Lady (her costume looks a little more Grease II than I) and Avery and Oliver are T Birds. The adventure took us down Route 66, to a diner and to the Admiral Twin Drive-in!
