Full Moon with Bats Door Art

 

I had an idea for more Halloween themed door art, so I decided to paint on my front door, like I did last Christmas.  I like for the painting on the front door to be larger, simpler, and easier to see from the street than what I paint on the side door.  I thought that bats in front of a full moon would be pretty visible and recognizable from a distance.  It also sorta resembles a evil smiley face. 

I used string and a dry erase marker to draw the large circle.  I used white ceiling paint to fill the circle.  Then I used a pale yellow wall paint for the moon color.  I drew bats on card stock, and then cut them out.  I traced around them with pencil and then filled in the outline with black acrylic paint.

I think it turned out okay, and it fulfills my last non-sewing goal for this year!

Black Cat in a Pumpkin Door Art

 

For Halloween, I decided to do a painting of a black cat in a pumpkin on my side door.

First I found a picture online of a cat in a pumpkin that I liked.  I drew it first on paper to get a feel for how to draw it.  Next I drew the picture with dry erase marker on the window.  Then I used acrylic paint to fill in the colors.  It took several coats of paint for the orange because I didn't do a white base coat.  On this door I don't do the white base coat because I want the image to be the same on both sides of the door.

I think it turned out cute enough.  It makes me smile when I see it.  And it fulfills one of my creativity goals for the year.
