The word for Illustration Friday this week is 'scary'.
I decided to paint one of the statues/gargoyle type creatures from a nearby 17th century villa known as the 'Villa of Monsters' for it's strange and creepy statues.
There are at least sixty of them left from a collection of about two hundred, sitting on the walls around the villa! You can read more about them here.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Crickey....you made me jump!
Great sketching Cathy.
Not sure if I could draw anything scary enough but I could always put a self portrait up on my site. Mind you, I wouldn't want to traumatise anyone.

Wonderful colors you've used on the IF illo!
Beautiful work! I love the colours you've used, they successfully give a third dimension to the monster, and make him even more scary! You have many interesting things to draw there in Sicily...
Happy Halloween to you, Cathy!
Wow... it reminds me of that alien in the movie "The Thing" :D I really appreciate the colors and details you used. Love the skull too =) That's just fun looking, not scary at all..hahaha. Happy Halloween.
P.S. Meela is doing a lot better now, she wants to play all the time, and acting more like a little kitten like when she first came to our house.
ooh, that second pic startled me!! Super illustrations!
Both scary in the most wonderful of ways. Love the colors, too!!
Great work Cathy, Happy Halloween
Love your scary monsters, Jane. Happy Halloween to you!
Wow, that's a lot of creepy statues! You captured the scariness well. It was interesting reading the story behind the gargoyles there.

Amazing watercolor - the colors are just great! Love the blues and purples and reds and greens on the statue. Then I scrolled down and ouch! Spooky! Wonderful :)
